[An Enemy of the Circle]

Very gud indeed - the Edinburgh tittle tattle wasn't all hype!

Only 75 mins long but some very inventive staging makes light of the heavy duty (dry) material. All 5 charcters are excellent; personally the female squaddie held it all together.

Gripes? Well the last 10 mins peters out rather limply; the odd Blackwatch style bang wouldn't have gone amiss either in the mid section. Also, for me, the 2 leads (parents), whilst reflecting the sense of loss and frustration well, never really struck a true emotional chord (I never felt sorry enough for them). All icing on the cake stuff though.

Perfection aside, it's still a very strong 4/5 and well worth catching if you're near Mold (until 13/09) or Cardiff (16-27/09).
