Loved it
Great matinee really enjoyed the show. Time went way to quickly. So happy we got to see it with Kim Marsh she was brilliant
Excellent and suspenseful - a must see
Great cast, amazing staging and a nail biting story-line - a thriller that leaves you on the edge of your seat. Definitely a must see.
A brilliantly acted, nail-biting thriller!
Natascha McElhone is one of my favourite actresses so seeing her on-stage, let alone perform in such an intense and expertly cast play, was very exciting! I'd not seen the film before and it was a LOT more nail-biting than I anticipated. The use of loud samples from Madame Butterfly really helped to add to the drama as it reaches its crescendo and make things a lot more tense - though the sound may have been a bit too loud at times. I also found the set design and way it interacted with the lighting to be quite clever, at times almost alienating Dan from his family and friends even further, as he struggles with his dealings with Alex. Fatal Attraction is a great play to see for a couple or friends, though perhaps don't take anyone who owns a rabbit!
Entertaining night out
I'm not going to lie, getting to see celebrities like Kristin Davis and Natascha McElhone were the main driver for me attending this play, and it was well worth it. Natascha McElhone gave a strong performance as a victim demanding respect as well as someone mentally unbalanced and beyond inappropriate. What I was pleasantly surprised by was Mark Bazeley, as a desperate man trying to fix a problem his desires got him into, he was vulnerable but complicit and gave an outstanding performance. The creative use of set design was very refreshing and impressive, it felt very realistic and the audience got the fly on the wall experience. I had forgotten most of the plot of the movie which I watched so many years ago, and thought It was an interesting choice to try out the alternative ending. I won't give anything away, but thought it was a suitable twist. Definitely worth a night out with friends for a twisted plot, complicated characters and good acting.
NOT TO BE MISSED
A well acted cast let down by ending. Stage set excellent more could be made of the "Bunny Boiling" It is a difficult ending to bring to the stage but with modern technology the film ending could have been achieved.
Awful acting
No chemistry between the actors, awful overacting, wooden performance, no passion or emotions felt, left after 1st half
