The Edge of Darkness

I really enjoy a good menancing mystery and this  was all of this - and more!   A young lady "Emma Cranwell" superbly played by Hannah Johnson disappeared some years ago and has been "found" again by her "parents" (or are they) " Max and Laura Cranwell" - excellent performances by Andrew Tidbury and Shelley Scripps. A new butler, "Hardy" arrives at the house but is he really what he seems to be?  Great performance by David Mander. The housemaid "Penny" is not too sure about "Hardy" but decides to give him the benefit of the doubt - brilliant performance given by Michaela Clement-Hayes.   "Emma" has lost her memory and cannot remember anything of the past three years.  To add to the mystery a stranger appears claiming to be "Emma's" husband - "Livago" is his name and he comes from Russia.  Tim Allebone really comes into his own with a very convincing Russian accent.  All in all a really great production keeping the audience in silence and on the edge of their seats throughout. Congratulations to Director Mick Mills - a production you must be so proud of.
