MET with a warm, hushed red tones of the opening set piece, this rock-star performance of Patrick Hamiltonâs âRopeâ was a hit.
Contemplative, a collection of significant moments in time, this production by Ed Wightman played out like clockwork.
Pippin Carroll as Wyndham Brandon made a stunning show at puffing up his camp behaviour. He worked tirelessly to ensure a certain lackadaisical energy was established early, allowing a slice of the pie to come out cleanly for each of the ensemble roles.
Ryan Street played his part as Rupert Cadell superbly, and his final soliloquy was not stunning, not grandiose, just delivered with aplomb and all the remainder thrown in.
