Actors Review
Claire Little- Murderous woman/Britney/nurse- she really liked doing the play because it had a purpose, It's got a serious message, which is put across in a non-preachy way.
Actors felt really awkward and were resistant with doing some scenes as they weren't particularly realistic and were more uncomfortable. they had to do grotesque, stupid and pantomime like things. scenes were they had to act silly and 'cartoon-like' were particularly hard. Antony did weird things like throw balls of strings at them. the actors were never able to do a through run through of the play together so, the first time they run through the play altogether, was to an audience. Although this was the case, the show still run smoothly and was a huge success. Actors said doing something bizarre, bigger and more exaggerated is good because you get somewhere and find something interesting while doing it.
The precise problem with show is Antony Neilson's disastrous script. Neilson throws everything at the wall and nothing sticks, his comic and dramatic misjudgements (the worst of which is a deeply unpleasant and pointless rape sequence) scuppered the shows practitioners before they even started, and i can stress enough how much this company should be commended for there valiant attempt at staging the show.
