SUSANNAH YORK in
"Susannah
York, under Ted Craig's direction, is rivetting as Elaine.
She implies both
faded-European gentility and a sexual friskiness
that she memorably turns
upon her male captor" Michael Billington The Guardian
World
Premiere of a new play by SARA MASON
directed
by TED CRAIG
designed
by MARTIN
THOMAS lighting by PETER HARRISON
with CHARLES
ABOMELI & SARA MASON
"the production has a major
asset in York's central performance.
Beautiful with her huge eyes, gamine
haircut and razor-blade cheek bones,
York is flirtacious, imperious and pitiful
by turns...she is also darkly funny" Sam Marlowe The Times
An intriguing and powerful mystery of a woman
who finds
herself in an unfamiliar house under the protection of a strange couple.
Vulnerable
and bewildered, the wealthy Elaine believes she has been captured
but cannot
help falling for the beautiful male stranger - surreal, and shocking.
