Ferndown Drama Group Barrington Theatre Ferndown April 2003 Trish Binding was outstanding as the injured Julia Darrow, with pain so visibly etched on her face that it was almost possible to feel her agony. Jenny Sibley as her visitor, Margaret Haddrell, also captured well the growing change in her character’s nature, although her occasional tendency to say the opposite of what she had plainly intended was a little bewildering. Dawn Hollington gave a superb, measured performance as counsellor Anne Bennett, and Richard Harker’s ‘daily male’ Gary was also a fine characterisation. The many lighting cues depicting the passage of time were generally well executed, although one or two were so fast as to be rather confusing. And what I really want to know is – on the first night, was the door jammed, or was an intruder trying to enter? And how, at that point, did the crippled Julia come to be at the top of the stairs that had so far eluded her? Something more for the court to consider, I suggest.
