The Code, Southwark Playhouse Elephant review - superbly cast, resonant play about the price of fame in Hollywood by Helen Hawkins

Tracie Bennett is outstanding as a ribald, riotous Tallulah Bankhead Hot on the heels of Goodnight, Oscar comes another fictional meeting of real entertainment giants in Los Angeles, this time over a decade earlier. Michael McKeever's The Code is a period piece, but one with a resonating message for today's equivalents of the Hayes Code and the House Un-American Activities Committee.
