Sex Cells

“Sex Cells” a comedy drama written by Anna Longaretti, is set in a call centre that sells sex toys! We are taken on a roller-coaster of emotions by the five actors in this very well written play.
 

Director, Mark Walker has surpassed himself with this hilariously funny, fast-paced production. “Sex Cells” was brilliantly cast and superbly staged. Well done Mark!

There were awesome performances from the five cast members, each had very different and well-defined characters and they interacted perfectly with each other throughout the performance.

Kate Clennett was excellent in the role of Lily, a lady who has fallen out with her son and lost her husband. Kate had a terrific well-sustained accent and great comic timing - just be careful not to rush some of the dialogue so you don’t lose clarity. Alex Underwood’s character, Sylvia, is desperate to have a baby and has been through several failed I.V.F. treatments. Alex gave an outstanding, thoughtfully controlled performance. Katie-Rose Parker played Janice, a thirty-nine year old woman with five children. This was another excellent and well-sustained performance. Susan Hackett plays Tiffany, a twenty-nine year old who is always on the look- out for love. Susan had great comic timing and gave a bubbly performance which I enjoyed very much. Mr Causeway is the fifty-five year old hapless manager who has to deal with the four headstrong ladies he is brilliantly played by David Mander who also had excellent comic timing and a very expressive delivery. Well done to all the cast you all gave first-class performances!

The production had an excellent set which was very well-made and dressed. The blackouts in the scene changes were short and very slick and there was good use of incidental music to mask the changes. The props were very good throughout and well-managed. The costumes too were very good and in keeping with the piece. The lighting quality was excellent throughout the performance.

Congratulations to all the company both on and off the stage for this hilariously funny and thoroughly enjoyable production. This was a faultless opening night, with no obvious problems. You should all be very proud!
