K.C.A. PLAYERS Kinson Community Centre Bournemouth March 2003  rushing about to produce loud laughter on obvious lines, which were dutifully forthcoming.The set piece of glorious farce in a stylised exchange of brief cases brought its deserved applause and shows that movement adds to dialogue. David Wickham was an assured leading man assisted by Lonnie Watson as his over-solemn wife. The Johnsons were suitably played by Anne Coleman and a youthful Steve Watton (powdered hair does not necessarily add age, but who cares?). John King, dressed as he was, we suspected right from the beginning. Joan Ogden towered as the Detective Sergeant. Steve James came rightly out of farce as Frankenstein's monster at the end, and the stage management did him proud with his unerring accuracy with shots at two vases and a cuckoo clock. For me, the star of the show was Jean Gell as the breathless taxi driver who moved about admirably and could have had applause on nearly every exit, had that been planned. The director was Anne Robertson. Christopher Eden Courtesy of the Bournemouth Daily Echo. |
