It looks rather good from the clips. The stage set looks very imaginative and even from those short clips some of the mood of the books is put across. I have often thought that WDMTGTS is perhaps the book that lends itself most easily to the stage. It would be interesting to see how they handled the end, which works well in the book but could be rather anti-climactic on stage: when did they choose to explain what happened to Jim Brading? If you find out too early, it rather takes some of the drama out of the final scenes. I wrote a short commentary a year or so ago on the challenges of dramatising WDMTGTS - for the screen, rather than the stage - and it was rather a fascinating prospect to consider
