Friday night footlights

AM, CM and I saw a production of JB Priestley's 1932 drama "Dangerous Corner" at the Genesian Theatre. It's a play with a single, simple location and in which the action is 98% verbal - and the talented performers made it work. Particularly convincing in their roles were Elinor Portch as Freda Caplan and John Grinston as Charles Stanton. The closing scene was startlingly modern and left us pondering the central theme of painful truths vs. comfortable lies.
