And no sooner has Ayckbourn’s 1974 play Absent Friends just been revived in the West End, under commercial auspices, with a starry cast than Colchester’s Mercury Theatre have also programmed it, for a run from February 23 to March 10. Given that there ar

William Shatner makes most screen actors look like puppets with too many media-training classes. It’s not as if he’s a great thespian like, say, Christopher Plummer — for whom Shatner understudied in “Henry V” in 1956, only to kill him off with photon to
