But it isn't the plot that makes this show so special, but the delivery, a pair of cheeky Brits taking the piss with one another for a full hour. They have a go at one another, but come back together when it matters most. They obviously love one another, and that shines through like a bright star on a moonless night. It's funny, it's heartwarming, it's everything you would want from an hour of theatre.
