On a steamy hot night the full house audience at the Rep’s latest
production could have been forgiven for stripping off. That they did not follow
the bra waving antics of the Calendar
Girls cast was to be welcomed. Nudity, sunflowers and death
abounded in Tim Firth’s famous play on an unconventional slice of Yorkshire
grit. Feisty florist Chris, a super performance from Dee Lovelock, leads the Jam
and Jerusalem girls and she gets some good support, especially from Annalise Carter-Brown
as the self-effacing and knicker resistant Ruth. Angela Goss directs the pathos
and humour, and in an uneven large cast, Jo Collett’s status conscious WI
Chairman Marie was outstanding.
Runs to Saturday 20th July 2013 – Dunstable Rep
Theatre – 7.45pm
