How to Win Against History

...Young Vic, Waterloo


...'Henry was enormously privileged; he treated his poor wife abominably; he was utterly self-obsessed and may well have been completely talentless. He had pots of money until his accountant told him he had spent it all on dyeing poodles lilac and putting on plays nobody wanted to see. ... Like Henry himself, the show is a complete one-off: a little bit weird, totally absurd, often hilarious and very, very sparkly.'  Lyn Gardner, Guardian
