Lord Arthur Savile's Crime
 

Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime is based on an 1890s story by Oscar Wilde. 

Lord Arthur Savile is engaged to the lovely Sybil Merton. His future mother-in-law, Lady Julia Merton, is less than enthusiastic about the match and employs her fortune-teller,

Mr Podgers, to read Lord Arthur’s palm to find out if there are any indiscretions in Arthur’s past and future. The fortune-teller confidentially tells Arthur that he sees murder ahead! Feeling duty bound and desiring a blissful married life, Lord Arthur decides – of course – that the only logical course of action is to get this dreadfully embarrassing act out of the way before his wedding in three weeks’ time. But staging the perfect murder proves not nearly as easy as he thought!

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
