Private Fears in Public Places. November 2010
Six people with six very separate lives are strangely linked by circumstance. Does Nicola still love Dan? Can Stewart be on the verge of an office romance? Will Imogen ever find true love? Does Ambrose have a secret life? And what on earth is Charlotte up to?
‘The pace was good and the constant movement around the stage kept the audience attentive and intrigued. Claire Racklyeft presented a strong presence as an ambitious young lady frustrated by her out of work fiancee Dan. Michael Lawrence as Dan was an affable drunk. Andrew Donovan played the lonely estate agent Stewart with endearing sensitivity. Kathryn Attwood was sweetly convincing as his sister, desperately looking for love.The most complex character of all was Charlotte. Charlotte’s actions affected, directly or indirectly, with purpose or without, the lives of all those around her. Classic Ayckbourn who believes that ‘ we are all walk on parts in other people’s lives’
