Quartet - 4 stars charming and saw the film which is equally good. Predictable but great cast.
Divided Equally - 3 stars

Both plays were decent. Both had their merits. Both had their faults. I would go to see either of them on stage, but would not choose to perform or produce them.

Of the two, I liked Equally Divided more than Quartet.
