Mrs Henderson Presents is lively and fun, courtesy of a crisp, witty script by Martin Sherman and two great actors. Dench is superbly sharp tongued and Hoskins, gruff but charming. London\'s theatre world in the late 30sis carefully recreated and the vaudeville and kitschy nude tableaus arewonderfully staged. But it\'s not without flaws. Director Stephen Frears didn\'t really get his head around the scenes relating to war. They\'re more theatrical than the shows the Windmill put on. But you can look past the melodrama, because of the blistering interactions between the two stars, who make acting seem so simple. Welcome to the Bob and Judy show.
