A Chorus Of Disapproval Hopkins hams it up to try and rescue a rusty play and a director with more penance to pay than a serial killer.

Plot Guy Jones (Irons), a mundane everyman, is transferred to work in the small town of Scarborough, where he struggles to mingle with their cliched ways, resorting to an Am-Dram society to spice up his time there. There's seduction, intrigue (apparently) and backstabbing behind the curtain, but who cares? Verdict A pretty vacant play on the original material, which desperately needed updating but is reproduced verbatim. It's hard to remember such a strong cast being so underused.
