 Bella
and the beautiful knight is a new strongly written piece by Oliver
Emanuel It
is really a complex piece that works on numerous levels,
and certainly holds the attention throughout.
In
the course of one hour Bella, played by Sally Kent and
Donny , Grae Cleuch, her older, somewhat creepy brother,
aged from childhood to mid twenties and all is fine until Phillip
Nicholas Cowell, her Knight in
shining armour dares to disrupt Donny's world
and
the facets and secrets that are an intrgral part of their
lives.
As
an ensemble the three fine actors played their roles with
undoubted skill, but although the space was not the largest I was
a little disappointed with the direction, and even making
allowamces for the first show gremlins some of the techy bits
failed to inspire. This will of course get tighter as the run
continues.
All
in all the Armour has a lot of potential, and a little polishing
will certainly add more sparkle.
