Love Letters review, Theatre Royal, Windsor: Jenny Seagrove and Martin Shaw impress in a tale of almost-requited love
It’s remarkable how turret-touchingly close planes come to Windsor Castle on their groaning descent to nearby Heathrow. But perhaps the resulting noise blight is oddly reassuring at the moment for Her Majesty and family – a sign that life is returning to normal. And the same, I think, applies to Love Letters, the reopening flourish for the (very nearby) Theatre Royal, Windsor, which is among the first regional venues to get actors trundling back across the boards again (with socially distanced b

In it, two candidates compete to become their (unspecified) party’s presidential candidate of 1960. This other, Joseph Cantwell, is a self-made man, a bluster of confidence who has no problem exploiting his rival’s past – a nervous breakdown – and spinning into a mental health smear campaign.

Martin Shaw: My 1960 politics play The Best Man couldn’t be more relevant
Martin Shaw believes his play about corruption in politics addresses why no one trusts politicians — and is even more relevant with Donald Trump in office. The actor plays a would-be US presidential candidate in Gore Vidal’s The Best Man, which had its press night at the Playhouse Theatre yesterday.

The Best Man's Honeysuckle Weeks: Politics is like the court of Henry VIII now
Honeysuckle Weeks says her new role in a play about political corruption reminds her of her mother’s attempt to be an MP. The Foyle’s War star, 38, is preparing to lay bare the sacrifices made on the path to the White House in Gore Vidal’s The Best Man, first staged in 1960. In 2010 her mother Susan Wade Weeks ran as a Conservative in York Central but lost to Labour’s Hugh Bayley.
