The Penelopiad
Sinodun Players, The Corn Exchange, Wallingford
This dark drama about the aftermath of a tragic accident is a very thought-provoking piece of theatre. Each of the characters experiences a change of outlook during the course of the narrative and this gave the whole of the cast scope to display their acting talents.
The single set was well constructed and appeared in period. LX plot included some dramatic effects including several dramatic entrances from the double doors at the back of the stage. Costuming was excellent. Direction kept a good pace. Groupings looked natural and sightlines were always clear.
A provocative and intriguing production which I greatly enjoyed.
