Dangerous Obsession

Published Friday 28 April 2006 at 13:05 by Bernard Bale

If you have ever had that feeling of being watched and start to imagine why and what will happen, this is a play you have got to see. Calling it a play is an injustice, it is a drama of the highest quality and with such a celebrated cast list, it is certainly a class performance.

Having been written 20 years ago, the play has been modernised a little with the kind of technology you would expect to find in a luxury home anywhere in suburbia.

Liza Goddard is Sally Driscoll and plays the middle-class housewife perfectly. Ian Ogilvy is the stranger who brings menace to this placid household and of course, he is excellent as ever.

Let us not forget Martyn Stanbridge as Mark Driscoll who puts up with a great deal from the stranger who appears to know an awful lot about their marriage.

What happens at the end must remain a secret. It has worked for The Mousetrap for years and there is no reason why this tense thriller should not clock up a lot of mileage beyond the current tour. The plot has plenty of twists and turns and I defy anyone not to go home afterwards having thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
