The worst play ever!!!

I was unfortunate enough to see the 'The Black Album' at the NT. I was really looking forward to this play having read the book back in the mid 1990s. The subject matter seemed more timely (prophetic) given all the things that have occurred since The Satanic Verses controversy.
The play itself was another thing all together: wooden acting, del boy characters (?) a terrible set and worst of all a plot that was hard to follow. I don't think it received any good reviews in the press. I also went back in August to see England people very nice, worth the second viewing.
