Review for THE STAGE by PAUL VALE (24.12.2010)

24/12/2010

Congratulations to the cast and crew after the first week of performances of Twelfth Night. Though the audience numbers  have so far been small, we have had an extremely enthusiastic and encouraging response to the show - not least from Paul Vale who published a review in THE STAGE  this morning:

Twelfth Night
Published Friday 24 December 2010 at 11:00 by Paul Vale

With its excellent acoustics and cabaret-style seating, The Space makes an ideal venue for Chris Chambers’ music hall-style production of Shakespeare’s popular comedy. Embracing the festive spirit of the piece, each of the cast play instruments or perform popular music hall numbers and many songs that feature in the play are given this treatment too.

There are some great performances on show, notably that of Andrew Venning as Feste, granted a much more central performance here as a Master of the Revels of sorts.

Andrew Goddard as Sir Toby, Taniel Yusef as Maria and Christopher Mark as Sir Andrew are the focus for the comedy in this play and their cruel taunting of Michael Good’s dour Malvolio is as sad as it is funny. Kristal Sisodia is a strong, forthright Viola but her relationship with Steven Rostance’s Orsino seems only meagrely explored.

Pierre Gouverneur’s lighting lends atmosphere on a budget and his video projections throughout the play enhance rather than detract from the action.

Chambers’ production, which transfers first to Hoxton Hall and then Middle Temple Hall, site of the original production in 1602, is engaging, amusing and remarkably fluid.
