The Penelopiad
Sinodun Players, The Corn Exchange, Wallingford
Moliere’s classic tale retold with a modern twist which showed real insight into human nature and especially the cult of celebrity and its frailties. A strong cast worked well both as individual characters but also as an interactive group to give the play real punch and impact. Indeed it was surprising how easily a story based on 17th Century French court life was relocated in the modern world with some really striking parallels that made you think that the more things change the more they stay the same.
