Dead Guilty

It was once said that “there is nothing more dangerous than a scorned woman” and this play typified that quote. Julia is recovering from injuries sustained in a car crash which killed her married lover, John. Apparently unsuspecting of the affair, John’s wife Margaret seeks some comfort from the person who was with him last. But are there deeper more sinister undertones to her request? Whilst you may be able to guess the conclusion, the journey both Julia (played by Anna Brecon) and Margaret (Jenny Funnell) take is complex and both wove the tapestry tension nicely. Worth a look if you get the chance.
