Reviews

“Much of Communicado’s reputation rests on their emphasis..." [The Scotsman]

Much of Communicado’s reputation rests on their emphasis on physical and visual theatre, and when this aspect is given full rein, as in the murder scene, the results are stunning. Paterson’s adaptation is a sleek creature, moving from scene to scene with ease, and tightening the atmosphere around the characters as the story darkens.
THE SCOTSMAN March 1992

 

 

“Their playing of the murder scene when Therese’s lover..." [The Sunday Times]

Their playing of the murder scene when Therese’s lover drowns her husband, the ironic scene where the murderers are persuaded to marry, and the final petit guignol scene of joint suicide in the presence of the victim’s paralysed mother were highlights of the production.
