...McKay's performance, which marries physical resemblance to internal channeling - he's practiced in this, having written and performed a one-man show called Rosebud: The Lives of Orson Welles - is exceptional.

Brits have long been apt to say they've got no problem with what people get up to in the privacy of their own bedrooms.
