4.5, rounded down.
This is rather an amalgamation of two previous plays: it takes the older butch/younger femme sapphic dynamic from The Killing of Sister George and meshes it with the brittle wit of the central collegian in Butley A Play. As such, it has a faint whiff of 'been there, done that' preventing a full 5 stars - but Davies does this type of thing so effortlessly well, and I am sure Sheila Hancock slayed in the title role.
