The sublime John Heffernan as Hastings in She Stoops to Conquer, currently in previews at the NT.

He’s the best thing in the play, rest is… alright. Or maybe it has gotten better after previews, I was not convinced.
It’s gotten mad good reviews, so I’m hoping they pulled back a bit on things, but HASTINGS!!!! I LOVED HASTINGS! He was my favourite by far and I wouldn’t mind seeing it again (though from the stalls please) just so I could enjoy his performance.
