Play review - "Badger's Green" by R C Sherriff

RC Sheriff was the toast of Broadway and the West End with his hit play Journey's End and many people were keen to see what he'd do as a follow up. He decided on a total change of pace with this piece, a light amusement about a squabbling village which unites when a property developer wants to do some developments nearby. The strength of the piece lies in its gentle observation and the fact that the "heros" are flawed - petty, little egomaniacal committee members - and the "villain" property developer is a nice chap, just one with ideas which don't suit the village. Enjoyable but it feels as though it lacks something - a little weight, or another subplot or twist.
