Hamlet by The Two Gents Company
Being a Shakespeare fan I am only desirous to see classical adaptations of his works. Alhough this play was an amusing and interesting take on one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies I was distinctly unamused. If you are a classicalist, I would not advise this play, interesting as it may be.
Noel Coward's Blythe Spirit
A lavish set and fine acting set this play up to be a huge success. Despite the wonderful acting of Alison Steadman et al, this play fell short of the mark and left me feeling slightly underwhelmed. A huge shame as if it had had an extra amount of zest the house would have been in complete fits!
Lily Through The Dark
A spectacular production performing an interesting take on the classic discussion of how to deal with loss. Performed with strong Tim Burton esque references and a Gothic feel this play captured the mind and the senses and drew you into it's dark world in a gentle,and at points, amusing manner.
Review of Late Noon Sun
An interesting mix between film and theatre, this production captured the grizzly feel of the plot through it's Hitchcock style filming and silent acting. A drak and twisted tale of affairs and murder presented in a vintage style it left us talking about if for quite a while afterwards!
