Director's
Commentary This was
a spoof on all the Agatha Christie things, complete with elderly
female amateur sleuth, characters masquerading as experts
in order to defraud, and so on. It was a lovely mickey-take
on all that genre. As usual the cast were superb,
underplaying the humour where it spoke for itself, but
pulling out every imaginable stop where high farce was
called for. I don't seem to have much in the memory
banks on this one in terms of trauma, so it must have gone
ok, for me at least! I do remember, however, going
to see a professional production of this at New Theatre,
and they weren't a patch on us, though I sez it meself!
Go Chameleons!! Oh, and this was one where the
author turned up. Deeply scary!! Ailsa |
