There couldn't be a bigger distance between Rat in the Skull and this play, but the production values - a well-written play, strong acting and direction - are the same.

It's a "backstage comedy", dealing with the production of a play based on Byron's Don Juan, a production which will involve a nude scene, something which Rebecca, the actress, objects to in principle. But it's also about the relationship between the actor, Stephen, and Rebecca, and about the life of the director Graham, whose lover Michael has just left him, and who, on the rebound as it were, begins to fancy Stephen.

Written by Andrew Cowie, who also plays Graham, it is clever, witty and very entertaining. If you've been in theatre any length of time, you've met Rebecca and Graham, and you might even have been the naive Stephen yourself!
