Tom and Viv - Michael Hastings

13th-16th December

Hexagon Theatre, mac

"A young company makes Michael Hastings' story of the rocky relationship between T. S. Eliot and his wife look, sound and feel absolutely right. Jo Taylor (Viv) is an expressive delight of many emotions in her battle for sanity. Paul Ready's Tom grows in stature from deference, diffidence and doubts to become a man able to bury his abiding love in the course of his advancement. These two finely tuned performances are beautifully supported by Victoria Sayce (Rose), Jeremy Hancock (Maurice) and Paul James Parker (Charles) in Liz Light's excellent production." Evening Mail
