The Regina Monologues

Rebecca Russell and Jenny Wafer
Tidemark Theatre
C Chambers Street

Take Henry VIII and his six wives and transfer them into the 21st century and you have The Regina Monologues: the story of six women married successively to the same ginger-haired man. In a series of monologues at significant points in their relationships with their joint husband, the six women tell their stories.

It's an interesting concept and works well, giving us an intriguing picture of the women and their feelings but a surprisingly unclear picture of their husband, who remains a somewhat shadowy figure.

It is well performed and fills a pleasant, undemanding 75 minutes.

(Originally awarded 3½ stars.)
