Pint-pot pleasures

Princess Caraboo
Finborough Theatre, London SW1
4/5

PRINCESS Caraboo is an object lesson in how to fit a quart into a pint pot. Through a combination of ingenuity, endeavour and imagination its producers have succeeded in staging a West End-sized musical in a space not much larger than the average living room.

Based on an apparently true story, Princess Caraboo is a tale of conspiratorial deception, dissimulation and gullibility.
