Something to Hide by the actor and writer Leslie Sands is a piece of its time: the 1950’s. Change ), You are commenting using your Google account. Steve Wetherilt, as the lead, while never quite the louche lounge lizard, and while vocally, he was at times indistinct, gave a smooth, assured performance. It was she who launched the unravelling of the plot and by halfway, after Chris Church’s delightful Mr. Purdie, floated another red herring into the mix, the production was well into its stride and the net began to tighten. ( Log Out /  Mrs Holt's car crash. SEAFORD SCENE Review by Emily Jane Polling. While I am not one of them - I’m an enormous fan of Knott and Hitchcock – ‘Something To Hide’, the July offering at Seaford Little Theatre is not without its flaws. The play follows a scheming author Howard Holt (Steve Wetherilt), his lover, his wife and publisher (Sandra Haynes) and a canny detective (John Hamilton), who almost immediately realises something isn't quite right about Karen Holt's motor accident - especially when young Julie Grant (Angela Chabot) goes missing around the same time. ( Log Out /  'Something to Hide' was really well performed by all and definitely worth seeing. D.Bridge - Something To Hide ( Creative Source 042 ) - YouTube The pair worked well together; Wetherilt's The opening scene is supposed to be lustful banter between Howard and his mistness, yet the fact that they were having an affair was not all that apparent The scene was a little bit static and almost too rehearsed; however as the play progressed it just got better and better, resulting in an all out edge-of-the-seat thriller. At the start of the play I had my doubts about the Although not always true to period they enhanced rather than detracted from the overall ambience. In the main SMDG’s actors are more than up to this task of storytelling-acting and the dramatic action moves at a good pace. There were decent cameos from rural busybody Miss Cunningham, a cert for Miss Marple if another Christie-type piece is on the cards next season. Deborah Moggach is the author from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel which has been turned into a top grossing film staring Judi Dench. ★ New feature: One click to browse your phone's invisible photos with desktop browser! ★ The Easiest and Highest rated hiding tool! Hamilton was perfect for the role of a country policeman and played his character with brilliant accuracy. Something to Hide by the actor and writer Leslie Sands is a piece of its time: the 1950’s. The book Something to hide is a warm, witty and wise novel about the unexpected twists that later life can bring. Overall this was a very entertaining piece and a lovely nostalgic trip back in time and Ms Wood must have been delighted at the first night audience’s gasps and screams on more than one occasion during the play.

Angela Chabot, as his lover, looked good and moved well – and I confess I never realised till the curtain that she was also the Holts’ sassy, put-upon maid, not above reading the family mail. The action of play revolves around a police investigation into Karen's car accident and the alleged murder of Howard's mistress Julia Grant (Angela Chabot). My one criticism is the long gaps between scenes for what is a single-set, well designed by the multi-talented Baker. She has little to work with, but is a crucial character and Ms Doble is both three dimensional and sympathetic. Alan G Baker did a great job of directing the mystery and deserves the praise the The play is mooted as a “thriller” and it has everything an Agatha Christie fan could wish for: murder, adultery, blackmail, deception, twists and turns of plot and even a nosy neighbour. He tells Karen he will dispose of the dead body, and persuades her to lie to the police. Wisely, SMDG’s director, Jean Wood has chosen to leave it firmly where it belongs in terms of staging and thus it may be viewed as a “period” as opposed to “dated”. Support "SD card"! ( Log Out /  The Inspector's incessant prying into a seemingly innocent accident sets the plot rolling for the entire play. Although the plot relies on several descriptive speeches of offstage action to move on, it is written is such a way that – as long as the actors are up to it – it does not appear as static and laboured as some other plays of its genre. And some would say it should stay there. The overall look of the set did exactly what it was supposed to and took us immediately into the country home of a wealthy couple. Lighting and sound both suffered a little from the curse of the touring show – first time “live” in a new building, but the effects were good and my main complaint here is that the radio music at the beginning of the play was too loud – I was expecting Miss Cunningham the neighbour to be complaining about the noise when she knocked on the door …. production received. the perfonmances of Sandra Haynes and Steve Wetherilt as the warring couple covering up a crime were very enjoyable. ( Log Out /  seats and hoping not to be left on another cliff-hanger The cast is small and all are enthusiastic. The other minor role of Mr Purdie the mechanic is played by Paul Lawston. This is it!! Later offerings in the same style by the likes of Frederick Knott, Ira Levin and Anthony Shaffer brought a modern, more psychological edge to the genre but essentially, the whodunit is very much of its time. 'Something to Hide' by Leslie Sands was by far the Nicola Doble does her best with the somewhat underwritten role of Julie. Country house thrillers, the genre practically invented and defined by Agatha Christie and Francis Durbridge, were the staple diet of all repertory companies of the 1950s. We all know the nosy neighbour, the stalwart of the village and the mover and shaker of the WI. Written by the actor Leslie Sands and directed by Alan G Baker, it is an ingenious and satisfying tale - but partly because the later action requires holes in the early plot, and partly because the opening scene is leaden, it starts slowly. However, the curtains in this rather grand house were the wrong length and un-ironed, the rather upmarket and business-like desk was mismatched with a dining chair and a rogue briefcase found its way into the centre of the set for no reason that I can recall, causing the actors to walk around or over it.

This overall feel is enhanced by touches such as masking scene changes by closing the curtains – something I’ve not seen in the theatre in a long time – and the choice of contemporary 1950’s music playing on the radio. Easy, fast! Newcomer Steve Wetherilt makes an impressive Seaford debut as sinister author Howard Holt, who takes full advantage of a bizarre situation when his wife Karen accidentally runs over his lover Julia in her car.

Like Chief Inspector Hubbard in Dial M for Murder, Davies is a forerunner of Columbo and there must have been a temptation to play him as a caricature, but thankfully both actor and director resisted temptation and there was an almost audible sigh of relief from the audience when Davies’ reassuring presence announced itself in Act Two. (as we were in the interval). Susan Reoch, as the moneyed wife, Karen is well cast, demonstrating vulnerability and steely determination in equal measure. A Feast in Time of Plague: a Morality Tale.

Under the skilful direction of Alan G Baker, a strong cast ensures that Leslie Sands' superb script and characters are projected convincingly. Costumes were flattering to the ladies and serviceable for the men. And completing the cast we have the excellent Darren McIlroy as the dogged – and very clever – Inspector Davies. Agatha Christie, Dial M for Murder, Hampton Hill Theatre, Jerome Kern, Leslie Sands, SMDG, Something to Hide.  Sandra Haynes, as his wife, proved an excellent foil for the Inspector and gave us the range of emotions from confused, terrified, angry and bereft in a noteworthy reading. This was quite distracting. Wisely, SMDG’s director, Jean Wood has chosen to leave it firmly where it belongs in terms of staging and thus it may be viewed as a “period” as opposed to “dated”. There can surely be no finer recommendation for a thriller than that! Angela Chabot resists overplaying the easily-led Julia, and Margaret Kennedy is superbly amusing as a busybody neighbour. Sue Birks and Gina Way both seem to be having fun playing respectively the nosy neighbour and the cleaner. Jerome Kern’s The Way You Look Tonight is a particularly good choice of song to evoke the atmosphere of what is both happening and about to happen. Technically this production had some challenges – mainly in the (lack of) attention to detail.
