The role of the narrator, an older Laurie Lee, is also a real challenge: using a commentator to link action and flesh out characterisation can be a clunky theatrical device. That said, Roger Bingham's spell-binding peformance is nigh on seamless.

'Laurie Lee's charming autobiography is imaginatively adapted for the stage by James Roose-Evans. The adult Lee, played by Roger Bingham, perfectly provides poetic, wide-eyed, nostalgic, retrospective commentary to his salad days and gets in the thick of the action, occasionaly rubbing shoulders with his youthful self.
