Theatre company stages serviceable version of play
In director Stephen Tobiass hands, the community theatre troupe did a serviceable, if unspectacular, version of Auburns captivating drama...
Kizzy Kaye puts the right nuances into Catherine: her rage, her wide-eyed wonder, her passion, her confusion. The problem? Given that Catherine is supposed to have been through the emotional ringer for years, Kaye looked a little too well-scrubbed and coifed to be completely credible...
Rawding was perfect for the role, balancing enthusiasm and pathos, cornball and cool...As Claire, Pippa Mugglestone looked right but was too rigid....Cookes performance was uneven and he showed a penchant for over-acting but he got the job done... There were some fine moments when just Catherine and Hal were on stage...you believed they cared for each other and that Hal genuinely had affection for Catherine and wasnt just using her.
