Verdict: Guns, not roses
As Oscar Wilde cheekily suggested, we Brits have everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language .
I was therefore a little worried that Kevin Kline might drive a three-wheeled wagon through Noel Coward s quintessentially English comedy Present Laughter.
Even so, I couldn t resist having a look at Kline s 2017 production of the play, in a live recording available on Broadway HD, an internet platform packed with tasty American shows and musicals.
As it happens, I had nothing to fear. From the moment he provided the correct, Cowardian pronunciation of illusion (three carefully separated syllables ill-you-shun ), I knew I was in safe hands.
