Wonderful piece of theatre !

This modern version of H G Well’s War of the Worlds is a technical masterpiece. Four actors act their hearts out to tell the story, while three of them are in turns throughout holding cameras to film the action on stage and project it onto a huge screen. The choreography of everyone being in the

Theatre review Arts Theatre Cambridge this week.

Miss this production at your peril as it could be the best piece of feel good theatre this year !

Caroline Graem’s The Killings at Badger’s Drift has been faithfully transferred from Book and TV to stage in a wonderfully imaginative production lead by Daniel Casey as Cheif Inspector Tom Barnaby ( who appeared in the TV adaptation as Tom’s side kick Sgt.Troy ) The staging is superb, the acting an absolute delight and in spite of the grisly murders the show is also a real heartening experience full of beautifully timed comedic performance. Look out for .the Rainbird’s squeaky tea trolley that steals the show and the very clever use of actors playing multiple characters and a big shout out to Julie Legrand for her Miss Bellringer ( possibly a candidate for the next Miss Marple ? ) I could go on but my best advice is to book your ticket now !
