Kate Bassett on The Pajama Game: Anyone for a little strike-and-dance?
Our little life may be rounded with a sleep, as Shakespeare wrote poetically, but no one's gonna be nodding off during The Pajama Game. As the factory whistle shrills at the start of Richard Eyre's peppy revival of this 1954 Broadway musical, Babe (Joanna Riding) certainly isn't about to tuck up in her PJs. She's a trade union firecracker in a low-paid workforce manufacturing jammies at top speed.
