The Narcissist (LINK TO REVIEW) is a new play by American dramatist Christopher Shinn, opening at Chichester Festival Theatre’s Minerva stage. Featuring Harry Lloyd as Jim, a political spin doctor, sought out by an American Senator (Claire Skinner) to help her campaign for president. The thing is, Jim has troubles of his own with his co-author, with his drug addict brother and his toxic partner, then with a gay waiter. An innovative set design allows us to ‘hear’ his constant text message interchanges. Like most Chichester first runs, it will probably go to London.
