Mr. Billington was spot on: it was fascinating. And intriguing. And Rachel Marwood's performance certainly was impressive. Drew's play was brilliant. A masterpiece. I enjoyed every moment of it. There's something magical about theatre. It makes no difference to me whether it's West End or a small fringe venue. In fact, I rather like venturing off the beaten track, discovering little secrets you might not come across were you not looking out for them. The New Diorama was not new to me, having seen Drew's debut 'Public Interest' there last year. I was thrilled to be accompanied by several friends each of whom responded as enthusiastically.
'Four Days of Grace' takes the audience into Grace's kitchen, with lino floor, kitchen table, kettle and countless bottles. Here we meet Grace. She tells us her story in her own words. The captivating monologue allows us to get to know her. And then we get to know all of her. As the scene unfolds, assumptions are shattered, prejudices challenged and stereotypes exploded. With each line, we are offered an opportunity to come closer, to sit at the table, and to hear what it is that this woman has been through to be in the place she now finds herself. Without a fridge. But without so much more besides.
