Director's Commentary  Loved this from the minute I read it and just about had it cast on the way home on from the library. Unfortunately, Sharon had to take a break, so I stepped into her shoes and gave my "John Wayne/shrieking harpy" American voice another go. There were great performances from all of the cast, and were a joy to work with, even if some were slightly easier to direct than others. Ed's man from the ministry was fab especially as this turned out to be the first time on stage for him (and I had flung just about the biggest role at him!!!). My favourite has to be Terry - he gave such a thoughtful and gentle performance of a man torn between the love of his wife and family and doing "the right thing". I knew he could do this part and I wasn't let down - he even missed his grand-daughters' christening on the Sunday, now that's dedication for you! Helen

Quote, Unquote  A favourite with me and all my friends who came to see it; loved the script, possibly because it was a true story Jenny
One of the productions that doesn’t get talked about very much, which is a shame. The play is a tight, disciplined little piece about the outside world intruding on domestic life, and forcing friends to betray each other for a greater "cause". All the performances were good, particularly Jenny and Terry as the ordinary couple struggling to deal with the Cold War camping on their doorstep, and Ed’s debut was spectacularly assured. American accents! Why did there have to be American accents? I had to learn the entire part phonetically, syllable by syllable Andy
Only knew this from an audience perspective but really well produced and performed. An assured performance from Ed in his first role and the rest of the cast were also first rate Sharon

The Critics Rave  "A super night at the theatre", gushed the Hull Advertiser, "and the excellent cast managed to sustain the tension over the full two hours". Edward was "superbly sinister and affable at the same time and showed great stage presence", and Terry was singled out for "putting across Bob's fear and nervousness very well". The rest of the cast were, "excellent, as ever".
