The Leicester Haymarket Theatre is very compact and you are very close to the action. This is the first play that I've been to where the lighting was artificial. The other play of Rebecca's I've been to was at an open air theatre. Anyway, the set design and lighting were good. I was especially impressed by the representation of the people being hanged by using life-sized straw figures. Acting was top class especially by Paul Hamilton, who during the play has to accuse Abigail of being a hoare. Surely good acting on his part. I mean Rebecca Callard…….a hoare……never!!!! Seriously though, he was good, as was David Leonard, the person who played the Court Cleric, and the acting and haunting beauty of Amita Dhiri makes her a strong candidate for a web page on this site. I'll try to find out more about her before adding her to the site.

I was astonished that there were still empty seats in the Theatre for such an excellent play. Well done to all concerned.

Finally a big thank you to Alison Garner for the email telling me about the play and that Rebecca was in it.
