The Gap: Matthew Kelly delivers big laughs, but the play is only skin-deep

Jim Cartwright's latest sees two old friends reminisce about their heady youth, but it tends merely to bump over the surface of their lives.

Tatty Scarborough is one star of this screen version of Jim Cartwright's play about a conversationally challenged young woman who also has a belting singing voice; another is Jane Horrocks, who sounds the absolute spit of Marlene Dietrich, Shirley Bassey and Judy Garland. And Michael Caine, as the sleazy agent Ray Say, puts in a beautifully nuanced performance.
