REVIEW: “The Hired Man”, at the Octagon Theatre, Bolton. Box of­ fice: 01204 529407. Web­ site: www.octagonbolton. co.uk


DAVID Thacker has had an impressive season at the Octagon.


“The Hired Man” presents him


with a challenge. A musical drama, it is based on Melvyn Bragg’s fic­ tionalised version of his grandfa­ ther’s Cumbrian working-class life in the early part of the 20th cen­ tury. Howard Goodall composed the music and lyrics when he was 26. His TV series on the history of music is one of the best things I’ve everseen. The Hired Man has lovely solos,

duets and choruses. Thacker has assembled a talented ensemble. Principals Amy Nuttall as Emily, • Kieron Hill as husband John, and John Coswofth as Jackson Pen­ nington, sing with passion and power, supported by Tobias Beer, ’ a great violinist, and David Ricar- do-Pierce on keyboard and cello"


as John’s brothers, and other ex­ cellent singers/musicians. Clare Darcy plays a wonderful


trumpet. Carol Sloman gives a ' great background performance as the pianist who controls the whole ; thing. There is a super community choir singing their hearts out. The ■ problem is that it’s hard to con- ■ dense 25 years into a “two hours’ . traffick of our stage”! The first act, which centres of


the love between Emily and John and her sudden passion for Jack- son, works well, finishing on'a moment with Emily centre stage and the two men on either side.


However, the second act opens 15 years later with no explanation of what has happened. This act has to hurtle through the rise of the

REVIEW


REVIEW: “Charley’s Aunt”, at the Royal Exchange, until August 7th. Box Office: 0161 833 9833. Website: www.roy- alexchange.co.uk ,


BRAHAM Murray’s produc­ tion of Brandon Thomas’s iconic comedy “Charley’s Aunt” at the Royal Exchange is like a flute of chilled Cham­ pagne with a boivl of strawber­ ries and cream - the quintes­ sential delight of summertime. Everything about it is en­


chanting. The well-known plot concerns the transformation of Lord Fancourt-Babberley (Oliver Comm) into a female impersonation of Donna Lucia D’Alvadores, the aunt of his pal Charles Wykeham (Brodie Ross). This subterfuge is instigated


by Charley’s friend Jack Ches- ney (Jack Farthing) to provide £i chaperone for them during the visit of their girlfriends Kit­ ty Verdun (Annabel Scholey)


: and Amy Spettigue (Sarah Ov­ ens). Inevitably complications arise with the arrival of Jack’s father,'Sir Francis (Michael Elwyn),- the: girls’ 'guardian. Spettigue (Malcolm Rennie) and eventually the real Donna Lucia (Briony McRoberts) ac­


companied by her niece Ela (Elizabeth Crarer). All the contortions of the


plot are hilarious, and all cen­ tre on the bogus Aunt. Oliver Comm gives a stun­


ning athletic performance both of body and face. He is well supported by Jack Far­ thing and Brodie Ross. The three young ladies are lovely, the real Donna Lucia is el­ egant and cunningly clever. Sir Francis is attractively gallant and Spettigue is horrendously pompous. A great comedy with a great cast! Johanna Bryant’s design is


wonderful, both in stage sets and in beautiful costumes. Praise must go to Diana Es­ trada for her wigs. How Oliver


■ Comm kept his on in all his pratfalls and gallops is amaz­


ing! This is laugh-out loud, feel­


good, forgot cuts, football dis­ asters, water shortages, et al. This is fun and we can never have enough of that. • The Royal Exchange’s


' first production of the autumn season in September is “Doc­ tor Faustus”.
