A Victorian corker of a show.
John Lithgow is priceless.
Joshua McGuire is excellent, full of wicked glee.
Last rehearsals for #TheMagistrate until next week. Some individual work on tone, articulation, emotion with individual actors.

In a similar vein to the National Theatre’s smash-hit classic comedies, She Stoops to Conquer and London Assurance, The Magistrate is sure to have audiences doubled up with laughter.
