Sketching Lucien – The Life and Work of Lucien Freud
This is in essence a series of short sketches exploring the like and works of artist Lucian Freud with the six strong cast playing Freud, Francis Bacon and a succession of models, clients and family members. The scenes are short and snappy, on often too so, and I’m not too sure what is trying to be put over by the production. The play is often camp, occasionally overacted, and the writing less than clear at times and although the performers try hard I’m not sure that any message comes across. **
