Charles Spencer reviews Andromache at the Royal Lyceum Theatre and Finding Mick Jagger at the Traverse Theatre

Finding Mick Jagger is a real treat, at least to an ageing rocker like me who has always worshipped at the shrine of the Rolling Stones. Owen O'Neill, who has also written a piece that clearly comes from the heart and his own memories, plays a man on the verge of his 50th birthday who is given an ultimatum by his wife. End your pathetic devotion to Mick or our marriage is over. Our hero decides that the only way to achieve this is to find Jagger and persuade him to retire, and he sets off on a quest to track him down, intermingled with memories of his own Irish childhood, and all the trouble his devotion to the Stones caused him.

O'Neill is a hugely engaging performer, and there's neat support from Pauline Goldsmith, playing all the women he meets on his odyssey. The show ends with a coup it would be a sin to reveal. Suffice it to say that it reveals Mick in a delightfully sympathetic light and one leaves with a smile of pure pleasure.
