"What did Sir Peter Hall put in his children's tea? I want some of it. Rebecca Hall is currently the toast of the British film industry after her assured performance in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Meanwhile, her half-brother, Ed Hall, is consolidating his position as one of our most successful theatre directors. Last year he directed Greta Scacchi in the finest Deep Blue Sea I have seen on stage and last Saturday I went to his all-male production of The Merchant of Venice at the Rose Theatre in Kingston. It is not my favourite Shakespeare play but the imaginative set and inspired casting made me realise that this boy will run and run."
