REVIEWS Damsels in Distress: Roleplay Duchess Theatre, London October 22, 2002 Review by Symon (Thanks, Symon!) Roleplay is one of three Alan Ayckbourn plays currently showing under the banner of 'Damsels in Distress' at The Duchess Theatre in London's West End. The action takes place in the flat of a young couple who's parents will be meeting first the first time at a dinner party that evening. Events are hampered somewhat by the arrival of Paige Petite, a lapdancer and girlfriend of sorts of a local gangster who lives in the penthouse suite upstairs and her 'babysitter', a large (to say the least) man called Mickey, whose size is directly disproportionate to his IQ. Though the set-up brings to mind one of a classic farce, the comedy is somewhat deeper than the usual mistaken-identity, walking-in-and-out-of-the-room, double entendres that usually encompass the genre. Instead, the play is a study in character, stereotypes and first-impressions. In the early scenes, characters are painted as one would expect, each fulfilling their roles based on their vocation. As the action progresses however, roles are reversed (as are dresses in one instance) and the lines between respectable and 'common' are blurred and soon reversed completely. The cast for the performance I attended were, in the main, understudys though two of the 'real' cast members also appeared. Were I not aware beforehand which of the seven players were from the original cast, I would have been hard-pressed to pick them out such was the uniformly high quality of each and every performance. Without doubt though (albeit from a sliiiiightly biased perspective), the standout performance of the show was that of India Fisher in the role of east-london lapdancer, Paige Petite. In a role that demanded an entire gamut of emotional range from fear, defiant courage, sympathy, kindness, humour and (ahem) lapdancing, India was a revelation. I can say little more, except that the performance of the actress in the 'actual' version of the play must be one of immense quality to come even close to India's. I'd recommend the show to everyone and if you're REALLY lucky, you'll catch it on a night that the actress playing Paige Petite is feeling a little bit poorly. |
