The key thing to remember about this is that it is the one where he plane crashes into the conservatory! And in this production it does so with great style to reveal Tara Rosling as Lina Szczepanowska.
Thom Marriott, sporting a full head of hair, is perfect in the role of Tarleton, referring everyone to the particular author who can provide insight on any problem. Ben Sanders is outstanding as Bentley Summerhays. His performance could easily have slid over the top, but he kept it in control even as he launched into one tantrum after another.
At the beginning, I was not sure Krista Colosimo was right for Hypatia, but it came together as the play progressed. I think it was her costume that put me off - it did not seem to fit the rest of the family. But eventually I forgot about it, as she took over the role.
