Review from The Tameside Reporter:
Magic of Mystery
Two's company makes for an enchanted crowd in Droylsden Little Theatre's latest stage thriller.
The talented team of thespians draw down the curtain on the year in spectacular style in The Mysterious Mr Love.
The thought-provoking production tells a story of love and deception, tightly wrapped in a layer of psychological intrigue.
Droylsden debutant Bernie Culshaw (conniving conman George Love) rises to the challenge in style in a play featuring just two characters.
The formidable load is shared admirably by Claire White, who brings vulnerability and emotional strength to her role as Mr Love's next victim, Adelaide Pinchin.
Set in 1910, the play begins with the two characters outlining their thoughts to the audience. The contrast between the sneaky and sinister Mr Love and the flawed but warm-hearted Adelaide is starkly set out.
The audience is left waiting for their inevitable meeting as Mr Love offers his jaded view of romance.
Onlookers fear Adelaide will be no match for the fortune hunter waiting in the wings as she laments her place among the unwanted stock in the backroom of a London hat shop.
Pouncing on her desperate desire for companionship, Mr Love soon whisks off his target to his regular low-cost hotel.
But as George begins to slowly fall for the emotional vulnerability of Adelaide, he reveals a fuller shade of his character.
George is faced with a final dilemma - whether to struggle free of his web of lies and set up an honest life with Adelaide or stay on a path seemingly never paved in gold.
The show runs until Saturday. For tickets telephone (0161) 370 7713.
