Magnificent! Loaded with atmosphere and a sense of melancholy this show was a pleasure to watch. I was engrossed in the world almost instantly. Daniel Radcliffe showed very good comedic instincts. Walking the fine line between overcooked and manic desperation. More than a few belly laughs to be had along the way. Enjoy your stay in this dark, yet strangely cozy, little hospital in the middle of nowhere. No wait, this is actually further away than the middle of nowhere. You have to take a train to the middle of nowhere to get here.
