The house, built like an ancient ship, and full, as one of its residents says, of “all kinds of surprises,” is sailing in solitude through the hills of Upper Sussex. In less than half-an-hour, it is filled with guests (invited or not), and we are taken on a trip through the sea of relationships, full of underwater reefs and currents, surprising discoveries and pirate attacks.
- The Heartbreak House production turned out to be beautiful, smart, well-played, and even fun. The latter quality, by the way, is quite difficult to achieve in staging Bernard Show’s plays.
