REVIEW:- The Ex Factor
Play at the Rockingham Theatre Company
Attended Sunday 19th March at 7.30pm
By Sharyn McCaskey
You and your future wife are about to open a bed and breakfast and you need to have the inspector approve your establishment and give it a star rating.
Money is tight as your ex wife has been “haemorrhaging your money” with her maintenance agreement, due to her high spending on brand name clothes and shoes. Your opening date draws near and you have quite a few things left to achieve, the delay being caused by your Sudoku obsession.
You mix up your dates and guests start arriving a day early, expecting dinner and a room all of which they have booked and paid for and all of which are not ready.
Factor in a wet night, problems with the stock on the farm, a suspected broken foot, tension between the owners of the B & B, a deaf husband and a date with the inspector, who as it turns out is bringing her boyfriend who has a connection with chippendale, home made wine and a meal for two of curry now needing to feed seven and this is only the first act.
Sue Murray, in her first time on stage in a major role, does a fantastic job of playing the inspector who as it turns out is the ex wife!
Rockingham Theatre again delivers a fast paced, funny production that is enjoyable to watch and a very entertaining evening out.
The cast of mostly regular thespians lead by David Heckingbottom, under the direction of his new wife Larraine Craig, they were married and had their honeymoon during the rehearsals of this production, do Rockingham Theatre proud with their consistent professional standard; a special mention must go to Helen Brown who does an outstanding job of playing Jane. Alison Gibson and Michael Stocks are funny in their respective roles as does David Jones and Terry Winter.
The show opens on Saturday the 24th and runs over the two weekends, tickets are available at the Rockingham Visitors Centre or on line at www.rockinghamtheatre.com. With some nights close to being sold out it is suggested you purchase your tickets as soon as possible.
