» Review: Haunted
What joy to see a play in which the words are equal to the cast and the cast equal to the words. Brenda Blethyn did not disappoint with a heart-wrenching portrayal of a woman whose love is tinged by tragedy. Niall Buggy was captivating as the lonely husband, desperate for the company of the younger woman, played with great restraint by Beth Cooke and all three delivered with precision and with power. But the star of the show had to be Edna O’Brine’s script, a rich, warm, velvety blanket of prose that washed us along, lifting and dropping us like a spring tide.
