Quite enjoyed this
This is Richard except delivered by one woman.
Emily Carding to be exact, who has taken this show around the world, and won awards including the Bobby award at the Edinburgh fringe last year
Basically she welcomes us in, giving those at the front labels denoting his victims. I got Rivers.
We all sat around her in a circle and she addressed us, casually but insidiously like we're all in with her devilish plot, including the victims, and there's nothing we can do about it
She speaks a lot of her monologues and conversations with the others, addressing those she has picked and saying the words those characters would normally say. She manages to make the play clear for us, pointing out the different characters she mentions
It's an intimate performance and she plays Richard cold and menacing, but with a dry wit. The audience quickly warmed to her and their reception to her interactions created more humour
An enjoyable 1 hour and 10 minutes Id recommend
I would advise though that the location can be allusive in the Draper Estate near Elephant and Castle. Simply walk down Kennington Park Road on the left side from the big Elephant and Castle roundabout, past the big traffic light junction and a row of shops, and there will be a sign with chalk writing on the pavement pointing you the way
