‘There are so many things the producers have got right in this beautifully constructed production it’s impossible to list them all’

I saw this back in its previous run and it was brilliant. Susan Harrison was wonderful as Emily, in fact there wasn't anything I could find fault in. Enchanting return to a childhood favourite.
