One of the boys

Ten minutes into One of the Boys and I wonder if I have walked through a time portal to the 1980s. A television and VCR player has been wheeled into the office to show a training video on how to spot sexual harassment in the workplace and the notepad on my lap becomes, in my imagination, a Filofax.

While the more clichéd portrayals of inappropriate office behaviour occasionally hold this play back from being genuinely thrilling, clever twists in Tim Edge's script – along with emotionally charged scenes – keep you engrossed throughout. This is also in no small part thanks to the standout performances from Jess Gough as Heidi – the young woman at the start of her career desperate to change the company's culture – and Daniel Kendrick as Kevin. This man is the embodiment of everything Heidi is seeking to change, and Kendrick plays the role with enough sleaze to prevent some of the dialogue veering into Carry On territory.
