Even that faint praise came after international surprise over Kosygin's unceremonious exit from power.

In the West End -London's theatrical main stem and mainstream-Tom Courtenay and Freddie Jones are making their way deftly through an adept and affectionate comedy called The Dresser, concerning the trials of a third-rate classical actor on a perpetual tour of the provinces.
