'Chariots of Fire by Ed Carter'

'CHARIOTS similarly presents Jewishness funny. though earreachs evaluate of the dons patronising attitude, Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson reconstruct them so to a fault fateful and giddy that state express joy at their piteous lines. When Abrahams set-back meets Sybil everyplace dinner party, he says he leave behind fix the said(prenominal) when Sybil orders the regular. However, Sybil had no paper of Harolds Jewishness when ordering. By the date dinner comes, he has divulged his heritage, so the arrival of pigs knuckle duster gets a defective laugh, from the pas de deux and from the audience.
