The plays are running alternate days at The Thistle Hotel (V36) at 13.05pm. Review - 'The Poisoner's Tale': Three Weeks **** “Someone whispered poison in his ear, now it’s spreading”. The poison may be spreading but so should the praise for this outstanding, thought provoking and superbly acted production. It’s quite uncommon to form attachments to nameless characters, but the beautifully-crafted monologues are performed with such passion and sincerity that one cannot help feeling engrossed as their language and mental states evoke a devastating slide towards destruction. A fine balancing act ensues between the real and surreal elements of the play, prompting questions regarding the force of ideas and the venom with which you should act upon them. As the wine flows and the debate heats up, the question is asked: would you ever die for your belief in an idea?

A true story, it is based on the beginning of the White Rose resistence movement, and is beautifully acted, the tension so well evoked that one terrified audience member cried out when the young movement's leaders decide to fight the noble cause that will lead to their execution. It is a testament to the skill of this talented company that it was torturous to be left hanging just as the action began, knowing the tragedy that was to come.
