It re-opened in March 2006 and ran through May 2006. The play, which previewed at the Edinburgh Festival, opened in London's West End on September 6, 2004 to rave reviews.

Christian Slater won a "Whatsonstage Best Actor Award" for his incredible performance. Christian Slater also won the Favorite Actor award two years in a row at the Big Star Awards.
