The Beloved
Drayton Arms Theatre
Reviewed on Tuesday 22nd April 2014
It was a promising start for The Beloved at the Drayton
Arms Theatre, Gloucester Road: an inebriated Anna wanders around the stage,
constantly drinking from the ever ready, omnipresent alcohol available in
Dacter Pinch's ingenious design. Her constant refrain: "Any minute now
he'll get out of bed, put on his clothes and walk through the door." She
is talking about her husband Jeremy, currently in a coma after a near-fatal
drink driving incident.
