The production is a must-see for fellow devotees of Plath to make up their own minds.

All of the musical selections are torchy and dramatic – a good fit for the band and for James’s rather grand voice, but a show about sexuality could include a little more play.

Sheer magic. Period.

It’d be interesting to find out whether the series has had an impact on Vaseline (aka “vaso”) sales.

The dialogue is sparse and verging on portentous, but a final monologue offers a transporting moment of calm after the chaos.

Ansari is as charming in person as he appears on screen, adopting character voices into his performance, interacting with the audience throughout the set (to varying degrees of success) and expressing genuine gratitude that he is able to travel overseas working as a stand-up.
