A Song for the Lovers

As part of the Lowry's Studio Season Monkeywood Theatre Company present there newly revised production till Saturday. Set in a Conservative Club in Manchester,is there such a place, suppose there must be. The action revolves around two step sisters and there inability to really communicate. It takes Davy, a youth of low intelligence, to fill in the blanks; clever Davy may not be, but sensitive to the plight of Catie he is.
It shows that even when we think we know what is happening in the lives of those close to us, sometimes it takes a stranger to point it out.
Both well written and acted "A Song for the Lovers" is worth paying a visit to see.
Not to doom laden but with an edge to make the grey cells tick over.
Well done to all
Director Jo Fisher
Writer and Actor Sarah McDonald Hughes
Actors Francesca Waite & Martin Gibbons
