Judi Dench rarely seems to fail, and here she puts in another convincing performance in this Zoe Heller penned drama. This time Dench is not a loveable old aunt, rather she is a crafty and slightly derranged teacher on the verge of retirement who stumbles across an affair between a fellow teacher and a student. The forces of attraction (in all directions) are palpable, and the scene is well set for destruction. All the characters are strong, and you're not quite sure where your sympathis should lie until the end. Enjoyable and worth watching.
