Critics Comments
“Matilda (Louise Gold) uses cues
fed to her by her father (Billy J Mitchell) to work out which object is being
held up by the member of her audience in order to entice out the spirit of a
loved one. She is in fact using the sophisticated, if amateur technique of
psychology. This is beautifully illustrated when she visits the impassive
Rebecca (Jenny Stoller). Through Matilda’s thoughts
we learnt how she pieced together tiny clues to build up a picture of her
client. The production was beautifully paced, a pulse away from melodrama, yet
anything but.” Moira Petty, THE STAGE, 12 October 1995, page 23.
