Dead Man’s Curve Ball - One4Review
The Actas Company present “Dead Man’s Curve Ball” by D. B. Folkard. It is 1963, the inaugural meeting of a support group for teenage victims of tragic automobile accidents. Is all as it seems? As Laura (Michelle Faure), Betty (Sarah Canning), Frank (Stefan Beckford or Matt Priest) and Jan (Tom Powell) go through their personal tragedies coincidences begin to become apparent. The councilor Barbara (Carla Best) seems not to be as impartial as she should be. With the assistance of pop hits from the period and other members of the company (Giles Daubeny, Camille Sautereau-Chandley, Imogen Hepburn, Matt Wakeford and Stefan Beckford) we see playbacks of each accident. Well written this clever idea has potential in many other situations. The cast all stay in character and seem to be enjoying themselves. It is enjoyable if also thought provoking so see this show if you can. ***
