It's great when you discover something a bit off the beaten track which makes you feel a little smug knowing about it, being able to talk about a must see production that your friends haven't heard of which makes you sound oh so cultural. At least that's what I feel and I love being able to recommend somewhere small and quaint which can really use the word of mouth recommendation.
The Girl in the Yellow Dress by Craig Higginson is just that on show now at theatre 503 in Battersea - upstairs in the Latchmere pub on Battersea Park Road - having transferred from Salisbury Playhouse. So you can relax in the pub before with a a couple of drinks and grab a bit to eat and mull over what you think happens next with your friends over a pint or two afterwards.
Clifford Samuel plays a french-congolese student who falls in love at first sight with an English tutor, wonderfully rendered by Fiona Button, who has put up notices at the Sorbonne. After convincing her to give him lessons, the play sees the pair embark on a tumultuous relationship. the production has you gripped from start to finish and leaves questions hanging about the pair.
It brings out the brilliant acting by each demonstrating their capabilities. No doubt they will go on to great things. But catch them now in this and you will not be disappointed.
Tickets cost 14 pounds.
