The Relapse Review 1996

This is a light, mischievous, lusty comedy, where all the characters are trying to get it a way with each other, but it's all done in good taste of course.

The costumes and sets are a delight which gives the play a nice feel to it. But, it is the acting that makes this a good play, it is acting at its best.The best performance coming from Victor Spinetti who plays Lord Foppington. His face is a dream, just looking at him made me laugh. There is also a fine performance from Susan Tracy who played Berinthia.

This play lasts 3 hours and time goes fast, give yourself a treat and see this.
