Review
A play with only four in the cast is a hard test for any
company. For the play's success is down to them and no one
else. And how well they responded. This was the first time
I had seen this very funny play and it came across very
well.It was well directed and we had a super set. All four
actors are to be congratulated.
Brenda Bartlett's Pauline was a housewife of her age and
time and we all have met someone like her.
Dennis Cain played by Andrew Kidd, not an easy part this,
but he defiantly came into his own as the play progressed.
Jane Fuller, the "know it all" organiser of the estate, was
played by Denise Mulhearn and she handled the change in
this character with style, and by the end she was almost
human.
As for her husband Roger, well he was your typical male
chauvinistic pig and matched his wife in the know-it-all
stakes but he did not change and as the end came we find
that a touch of farce comes into play, but John Griffin's
loud, brash portrayal never wavered.
My thanks to the cast, the director and Mr Russell for a
night of laughter, well done!
