Read Narrative
‘The overseas students, at LAMDA for a special course, showed their paces to advantage in a Shaw triple bill on June 1. Mostly American, they were able to use their native intonations in a lively and convincing presentation of “The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet” while displaying the firmness of their more newly-acquired accents in “Overruled” and “Passion, Poison and Petrification” in which they also evinced an excellent grasp of the British way of wit … The outstanding performance of the evening was that of Randy Moore as a vital, credible and well interpreted Blanco Posnet. Individually and as a team the cast under Gareth Morgan’s directions, made this a rewarding performance, with David Feldshuh as the double-thinking Elder Daniels. Jon Reynolds a brash Strapper Kemp, Elizabeth Eis as Feemy Evans and Michael Lennen showing a good sense of timing as Sheriff Kemp, even though not displaying all the firmness required to control such a community’. The Stage, 9 June 1966.
