Someone Who'll Watch Over Me

(Headgate Theatre, Colchester.
Oct 29th-Nov 1st 2008)

Chameleon's Web. Act I 97m. Act II 55m.

Experiences of three hostages held in captivity in Lebanon during the 1980s.
Interesting and engrossing if rather long study of mental and physical hardship, very well crafted with only the occasional slip of theatrical convention into the realistic setting, and with some intense pauses, in between the exchanges of three very disparate characters.
