Broadstone Players Memorial Hall Broadstone May 2002 Peter Rebbettes direction kept the pace of this comedy jogging along, and although I wasn’t entirely convinced by the set – allegedly a classy riverside apartment in a converted riverside warehouse but looking more like a downmarket high-rise – the production was well performed and very enjoyable. Gary Paine does a good line in bemused angst and was an excellent choice as Tom, and Lyn Whiteside was effectively domineering as Sarah, his ex-wife. Judy Garrett was a mite too old as ‘market researcher’ Lucy, and although her characterisation was impressive it would, I think, have worked even better had she not tried to act younger than her age. Peter Watson, with spot-on timing, was delightful as the multi-identitied cleaner, Albert, as was Rod Gilbert as tax inspector Mr Dodds, while Marion Watson also impressed as his wife.
