One thing I missed in Hilton McRae’s authoritative performance as the shadowy fixer was the skittish little dance Alec Guinness used to do on his first exit.īut there is good work from Richard Dempsey and Helen Bradbury as the tormented Chamberlaynes, Marcia Warren and Christopher Ravenscroft as their eccentric guests and Chloe Pirrie as Celia, a potential martyr in Dior clothing. My favourite moment comes when Edward says of his lover’s attempt at poetry that: “it is interesting if one is interested in Celia.” That line goes for little in Abbey Wright’s revival, which is clear, elegant and coherent, if a touch short on humour.

Elements of the play are based on Alcestis, by the Ancient Greek playwright Euripides.
