The Bald Prima Donna
Sat, 15 Feb 2003, 04:01 pmBald Prima Dona had full houses packed into the Rechabite Hall, where often the temperature reaches the melting point of concrete when only half full. The hard working cast of the ever-active ‘Borrowers’ who wore army great coats throughout must have suffered.
Unfortunately there werenÂ’t any programmes left, but the five main characters were outstanding.
Adam Rule, who has proved his comedy skills in several pantos and comedies, was at his best in this show. Rebecca Church, Paul Goddard and I’m sorry that sadly I don’t know the other couples names, were superb. The whole show was played down with the stiff upper lip of the ‘we’re English’ leading couple.
Very cleverly conceived by the 18 (is this correct?) years old director – he has a huge future.
There was a short pandemonium scene near the end, which with the heat and the concentration required to try and keep up with the complex story was a little annoying, but a tremendous show, congratulations to all concerned.

Yes, director (Matt Lutton) is the tender age of 18 and I agree - a huge future ahead
I attempted to see the show three nights in a row, and finally accepted a seat in the prime position of the steps - am glad I persevered, very interesting performance - very different to Matts last show (Blue Room, 'Trading Fates')
I particularly liked the set (one of the few performances I've seen at the Rec that hasnt been completely let down due to set/space issues) and the music - am still deciding what I thought of the actors...
