Cheers to Woody in Hammersmith but don't all rush at once

Masterpiece in timing even if show bangs on about Brexit
WOODY Harrelson sends himself up mercilessly in this purposely offensive theatreworld W farce from 2018, which continues writer David Ireland's mission to shock audiences out of complacency.
The former Cheers star plays vain American movie idol Jay who's agreed to appear in a violent Unionist play by Ulsterwoman Ruth (Louisa Harland) for English director Leigh (Andy Serkis), in the mistaken belief it glorifies his Irish Catholic heritage.
Jeremy Herrin's production makes you guffaw one minute and recoil the next, partly because splendid gags sit alongside sequences in which the two men "hypothetically" discuss rape and Ruth defends the killing of innocent civilians, both of which land terribly right now.
