REVIEW: "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?", . at the Octagon Theatre, Bolton.


DAVID Thacker's production of Edward Albee's 1962 play "Who's Afraid of Vir­ ginia Woolf?" is brilliantly cast and re-


. minds me yet again of my admiration for theatre actors. Famously filmed with Elizabeth Taylor

and Richard Burton as the warring couple George and Martha (named deliberately for the Washingtons),'the play is still as


■powerful in its black humour and emo­ tional intensity. George Irving plays George and Mar­ got Leicester Martha and both are superb,


but credit must also be given to Kieran Hill as Nick and Tammy Joelle as Honey, the guests that George and Martha have invited and who endure a night of drink- fuelled excoriation as George and Mar­ tha tear each other to shreds and then turn on their guests. I've always felt that my worst night­


mare would be to be dinner guests of the Macbeths, but being invited to George and Martha's house would be as bad. Nick is the new young addition to the Bi­ ology department in the College where George is merely an assistant in the His­ tory department and Nick thinks he will make much more of a mark than the old­ er disappointed George.


'


Honey, Nick's wife, is giggly and naive and, I suppose, the one I felt most sorry


for. However, at the end, we see George and Martha's relationship fully exposed and realise that underneath they do love one another in their own way. I am amazed to realise that the play


was written by a dramatist in his early 30s. It seems to have the world weary cynicism of a much older man. The play was ironically called "A Long Night's Journey into Day" and indeed, it is a long production, but gripping and well worth seeing. The Octagon's next production is Alan Bennett's "Habeas Corpus".

When good men do nothing


REVIEW: "Good”, at.the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, until November 5th. Box office: 0161 8339833. Website: www.royalexchange.co.uk


SORRY! Just have to say it! “Good” is very good.


It is a very clever and thoughtful play, skil­


fully acted and wonderfully designed. Written by Glaswegian dramatist C. P. Taylor, it was first produced by the RSC in London in 1981,


just months before Taylor’s early death at the age of 52.


ture Professor John Haider (Adrian Rawlins), struggling with an elderly, demented mother (Janet Whiteside) and an ineffectual wife (Madeleine Worral). His best friend is Mau­ rice (Kerry Shale) a Jewish psychiatrist. Then Haider falls in love with one of his stu­


dents, Anne (Beth Park), but all this is taking place in Germany in the 1930s. As he tries to cope with his problems he keeps hearing all kinds of music in strange places. However, it is the insidious effect of the Nazi party that is at the core of this fascinating play.


It traces the story of Philosophy and Litera­ We have become so accustomed to the rather


simplistic historical view of evil Nazis who cre­ ated the Holocaust. Indeed, it was one of the most appalling episodes in human history. But somehow, Hitler and his cohorts managed to convince a whole nation of reasonable people to follow him. This drama focuses on Haider’s gradual acceptance into the Nazi party and his horribly effective rationalisation of his actions. Rawlins is superb as the anxious Haider, a


demanding part as he is on stage virtually the whole time. Shale is an excellent counterpart as the Jew desperate to escape, and the entire supporting cast are convincing, both sympa­ thetic and chilling. I have to give special praise to the musicians arid the sound designer Chris­ topher Shutt for some splendid effects, and to director Polly Findlay for a fascinating produc­ tion. It took me about 10 minutes to get into it and


then I was hooked. The last line is one of those memorable lines in drama. I will remember this play and it is worth remembering, because even today good men can still be seduced into evil. PIPPA MUNRO HEBDEN
