Central Line Touring...who sold out last year are back in the venue with an ensemble piece that allows them to display their assorted talents while at the same time stretching their abilities both individually and collectively...

Aaron Bixley does a fine job as Tartuffe, his piety being a total contrast to his fearsome aggression when his true character is unmasked...

Rebecca Mahon almost steals the limelight as Dorine. She's totally credible as the disrespectful, canny maid who virtually runs the household and is a perfect judge of character. It's a fascinting part and Mahon approaches it with enthusiasm, verve and confidence...

I've seen Lou Webb in a few productions and she gives her customary excellent, reliable performance even though she's a bit young to play Madame Purnelle, Orgon's mother...that's one of the challenges of working with a small company and she rises superbly to it.

Sally Siner adds grace and class as Elmire who retains her dignity despite Tartuffe's dishonourable feelings for her.

Director Kim Gillespie injects plenty of pace into the piece, punctuating the action with commedia dell'arte moments to illustrate some of the more sinister aspects of the play.

I never got to see Tartuffe when I was at school - in fact this is the first time I've seen it performed. had I witnessed this production back then, I'm sure my A level grade would have been better.
