Laurel and Hardy

"What elevates McGrath's fluid dreamlike play from being just a chucklesome wallow in nostalgia is the sense that this powerhouse is about to crumble.

Behind the laughter lies a tremendous sadness that speaks for the passing of this act and for all sublime art.

This is why (Stan's) cry at Ollie's death is such a heartbreaker." - Mark Fisher, "The Guardian", 26 April 2005.
