Commentaires : A sung-through musical with a three-piece band and a cast of twelve, this was effectively a vanity production - nearly all the work of one man, David Reeves. The classic Oscar Wilde story of a man who stays young and beautiful while his portrait shows the signs of his age and decadence was intended as a study of the distance between appearance and truth. This adaptation lacked any subtlety, depth or wit and was unanimously damned as a dreadful waste of time. It lasted just one week.

Commentaires : The production, based on the book by Judith Johnson, was staged to mark the 75 th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War. Despite its noble intentions, some stirring anthems, and clever inflections of flamenco and guitar in the music, it failed as a cohesive piece of theatre, the “book creaks under the strain of under-developed characters and flat-footed dialogue” (Times). It was felt to be an interesting work in progress.
