Ok I’m biased, inevitably, but Conflicts, Seduction and Attempts On Her Life was a bit special. It was one of those evenings where the SSA comes together at HQ and something great happens – in this case it was three experienced actors trying their hands at directing for the first time, and what the audience got was stillness, power, comedy, physicality, pathos, anger, lust, love, farce, all presented with a huge amount of thought about movement, timing and staging. Massive congratulations to Courtney, Hazel and Mike for their directing debuts, and to their skilled cast members, all of whom contributed a huge amount to this fantastic evening. Finally a big thank you to Amy for pulling all this together, from the original idea pitched at committee through to this wonderful execution.
