Cleverly-wrought whodunit handsomely delivered while mystery abides The title comes from the name Hamlet chose for the play he and his travelling player mates staged to “catch the conscience of the King”. “'Tis a knavish piece of work,” he tells Claudius: “but what o' that?

The unexpected triumph of the look The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber is a silky, well-oiled musical revue and is a must for any Lloyd Webber fan. Thirty three songs in all and sung by a cast of eight, all of whom have the necessary voices and the pop opera romanticism and flamboyance to carry them off successfully without the support of magnificent settings and glamorous costumes.
