Synopsis
Two lovers are mysteriously invited to an empty flat. When they discover a dead body inside, and that their only exit is now locked, they realise that their past secrets are coming back to haunt them!
Our Review:
Anne Morley-Priestman - 31 July 2012
Meet Sandra Grey. Not a nice lady. She’s buried one husband and is in pursuit of a third. This latest candidate is called David. They meet in the London flat of some mutual friends and are joined, at different times, by two other acquaintances. One is Jennifer – but she’s just popped in to feed the budgie. The other is oh-so-slightly-sinisterly-camp man-about-town Alec.
Confused? You are expected to be, for this is The Rats by Agatha Christie and our unpleasant little rodents are caught in a thoroughly ingenious trap. Edward Max’s direction keeps the tension level high and there are some good performances, notably by Sophia Linden as Sandra. Martin Robinson’s set, with its array of doors and strategically placed furniture, words well, though the sofa perhaps lets it down a trifle.
After the interval we are in Knightsbridge, a comedy of cross purposes and cross meanings by the master of cross examination John Mortimer...
