REVIEW: Dinner With Saddam, Menier Chocolate Factory ✭

When the climax to Act One involves a slapstick shovel-on-head knockout blow, a suit splitting across the central character's back, and Steven Berkoff finally making his entrance, heavily made up as Saddam Hussein, you know that there is no point staying for the second Act. Nothing can make up for the time which you have lost while enduring Act One. Death is far too close, whatever your age, to fritter time away on profitless theatrical misjudgment. Fleeing is wise.

Wheeler's dialogue sparkled and fizzed, even in the mouths of those who were oddly or badly miscast. The sense of the quality of the literary glories of the book was most clear in the case of Joanna Riding's faultless Countess. Every line was a winner. In the hands of Anna O'Byrne, Anne Ergerman was a complete triumph, the glittering centrepiece of Act One.

REVIEW: 3 Winters, Lyttleton Theatre ✭✭✭

There is a marvellous scene towards the end of Act One where Walker and Gulliford share the couch, both wanting to be there but both not knowing how to negotiate a new phase in their fractured relationship. Completely different creatures, but each needing the other to be complete. It is a joy to watch.
