Frankenstein
★★☆☆☆ Not chilling:
Confused in its execution, Selladoor’s touring version of Frankenstein has high production values but offers little in the way of pre-Hallowe’en excitement.
The Crucible
★★★☆☆ Clear focus:
Exceptional clarity characterises the Lyceum’s production of The Crucible, whose focus on small details reaps rewards but does so at the expense of dramatic impact.
Review – The Price
* * * * *
Arthur Miller’s late-Sixties hit provides a thoroughly satisfying start to the Royal Lyceum’s year. It’s a piece which, in the right hands, has comedy and depth, as estranged brothers Victor and Walter pick over their dead father’s belongings with furniture dealer Solomon.
