Although I have seen many memorable productions in theatres large and small since I first discovered theatre in Lincoln in the '60s, I believe that this was the first time that I came out of a theatre with that same sense of wonder and magic that I felt at 18. By contrast and almost by accident, we saw Dealer's Choice at the Trafalgar Studio the night before. That was also a production that we enjoyed greatly but, on leaving the Menier after la Cage, we did wonder if we had missed something by not seeing it in that intimate space.
