Just one word to sum up the performance - brilliant! I was bowled over not only by every individual performance, but also by the way the cast performed as an ensemble. Paul I thought gave a great portrayal of Shelley; it went beyond the urbane and sweet-natured Shelley of A Romantic Affair and showed a more complex man, while his Frankenstein was memorably poignant. And he managed all those character changes seamlessly. Ben was, as usual, electrifying as Byron, the powerful central character that kept us riveted, and he maintained the strong narrative momentum throughout. I couldn't ever envisage a better Byron! Matt was a great choice, too - took all three parts well, but his Polidori brought out every facet - he was lugubrious, poignant, honest, kindly, and sardonic, by turns: highly impressive. And the girls - what can I say? Anna proved a revelation - she was perfect as Mary; couldn't believe it was her first straight theatre role - I hope she goes on to many more! And Laura was an ideal Claire: passionate, determined, tragically devoted. And what a lovely blend of voices!
