Non-notable play. Had a short run, is no longer running. Was speedied previously when obviously created by the writer and leading man. The recreated version was full of cherry picked review quotes leaving out critical sections. I've trimmed it back so it's not an obvious puff piece any more, but I still can't see any real notability. Blowdart | talk 09:46, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote this article sourcing two national newspapers (I see you have greatly reduced the quotations from them), two national magazines (one of which you have removed - Tatler), a national theatrical paper of great note in the UK (The Stage - quotes from which have been entirely removed) and the London free newspaper of greatest relevance (West End Extra - quotes from which you have removed). Of these, ONLY The Stage reviews all plays, and Michael Billington at The Guardian, who gave the play three-stars - is THE foremost critic in the country. NB This is the same number of stars as Billington gave Michael Frayn's last play Afterlife, ENB The Pendulum also got the same number of stars in the Sunday Times as that play. Perhaps my selection of quotes was too positive - I saw the play twice and happened to love it. When I recently met the author at a magazine's Christmas drinks for which he writes I asked him why it had no Wikipedia entry and told him to put one up. I later received an email from him saying he had, but after a conflict of interest had been pointed out, he had deleted his own entry and you had deleted the article on the play. I am afraid that what you have left as quotations are simply not representative of the general press, let alone the play itself. People were actually sobbing in that audience on the second night I went.

I have lengthened the Billington quote and added a link for his wiki page, as he deserves. I added the stage quote in its chronological place. I lengthened the time out quote to give the balance of the article, and added the Prospect link for their little piece on it. West End Extra is published by the Camden New Journal, but appears to have no online page. First Act's interview with the author is online, but probably does not merit inclusion. The conde naste publication Tatler does, but they do not publish online. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigjimedge (talk • contribs) 13:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
