#248969 Damned By Despair

I saw this yesterday in a 1/4 full auditorium. I've never seen the Olivier so empty. I was willing to give this production the benefit of doubt but unfortunately it really is bad. Felt as sorry for the cast as I did for the audience. Also I think John Inman would have made a more menacing Enrico.


#246361 Medea - Headlong

I caught this at Watford earlier in the tour and I thoroughly enjoyed it, having no knowledge of the original. In fact it prompted me to download a translation to try and work out who the bricklayer was supposed to be and what part he played in the whole story. I'm afraid I'm none the wiser. Perhaps someone a bit brighter than me who has seen other versions can shine some light.

So far I have enjoyed everything that I have seen from Headlong  and I'm looking forward to seeing The Effect next year. Also they are producing a version of The Seagull to tour next year.
