Director's Commentary  I knew even before I read the script that I had to do this play. Kate Atkinson’s novels are superb, and I had high hopes for this, which were confirmed once I read it. The cast, once the final group were established, were magnificent, the poster was inspired, and the music was wonderful. I missed Helen a lot, but special praise to Claire for stepping in at such short notice and doing a fantastic job. I will always remember INTERMINABLE periods of the cast sitting at the table eating (Somehow, though, the dialogue made it ok!), Ed’s ripped jeans (Ooooooooh!), Sharon’s predatory pounce on Ed and Jonathan’s tripod collapsing on the first night. He managed to work round it but the feeling of tension was palpable! A marvellous play to be involved with Ailsa

Quote, Unquote  Yet another play where any action I was supposedly getting took place offstage. I do know everything I never wanted to know about Chaos Theory now, though. And I really enjoyed doing the drunk scene with Ed and Mary Miranda
Jonathan made me laugh, literally, all through rehearsals and even during performances - coming on half undressed on Sunday night nearly set me off and I was supposed to be upset! Sharon
Good performances but the play was very, very similar to Experiment With An Air Pump by Sheelagh Stevenson. I think Ms Atkinson tried to cram too many ideas into one play David
A very moving but also funny story and an excellent performance from Mary. I especially liked the scene where Jonathon played the photographer in both time periods Joanne

The Critics Rave  "This was an atmospheric and moving production", gushed the Hull Daily Mail, "in which the sometimes savage humour of the lines was offset by the chilling and ghostly atmosphere. The events of today had bizarre echoes of those of 100 years ago and, in a brilliant twist, many of the characters in the Victorian drama which we also see being played out, were performed by the same cast members, giving an eerie sense of deja-vu which built to a moving conclusion".

Quote, Unquote  A big Chameleon welcome for Mary and, especially, Claire who only had two weeks to learn her part after Helen was forced to drop out.
