Reliable, enjoyable, a good start to theatre^s season...


REVIEW: “I Ought To Be In Pictures’^ at the Library Theatre, Manchester. '


AMERICAN dramatist Neil Simon is “a safe pair o f hands”!. He is renowned fdr his witty one-liners


and his smart dialogue, honed during his long career as playwright and screenwrit- robably his best-known works are


^1 he (Jdd Couple” and “Brighton Beach. .scri*!*^'^^’”’


many popular film , - .T Pught To Be In Pictures” is set in


Los Angeles in 1979 when Libby Tucker, a sparky 19-year-oId, travels from New York to find her father, Herb, a screen­ writer. She wants to be a big film star. He’s trying to cope with too many


rejections. His patient girlfriend Steffy is trying to help him without much suc­ cess. But the arrival of Libby, whom he deserted when she was three years (ild, causes them all to reappraise their lives. This clever thrce-;handor is entertain­


ing and amusing. It has its poignant and revealing moments as father, daughter,


and girlfriend begin to tell the truth. Stuart Fox is initially funny, abrasive and


cynical as Herb, but he develops to show the character’s more sympathetic side. ElizabethCarlingistheunderstand-


ing girlfriend who has an underlying determination, and Kirsty Osmon makes an impressive theatrical debut as Libby, at times amazingly brash and determined and at others vulnerable and desperate to find Her father’s love. Paul Jepson directs with assurance. •
