In This Body of Flame

‘In this body of flame’ was truly mesmerising. The actors' talent and the engrossing story made it an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for a memorable theatrical treat! The plague really stood out to me as their performance brought the character to life in a way that was both captivating and engaging.

The venue, acoustics, costumes, makeup complimented the underpinning theme of the performance perfectly. The talented cast brought the story to life in the most convincing and creative way. ‘Samuel’ became a broken man before our eyes and no-one could be untouched by ‘the Plague’ as her shrieks and taunting whispers were echoed around the venue. Outstanding talent from everyone involved in this production.

Wonderfully performed atmospheric drama . I was engaged from start to finish . Great performance from such a talented cast . Take the chance to see fabulous , young and talented actors !

what can i say! this show was captivating and raw. the writing and directing was professional level as was the acting, the girl who played the plague was phenomenal. would highly recommend anyone who wants to be having nightmares about the plague for the rest of their lives xxx

An excellent performance of the back story of Samuel Pepys. The cast, venue setting, lights, props and sound all blended together to give an atmospheric and edgy story telling show. I was engaged from beginning, as soon as the lights faded, to the final words of Pepys. All the cast were on top of their game with a special mention for Charles 1 who set a perfect counterbalance to Pepys and added a glowing brightness to a dark drama.

"In This Body of Flame" transports audiences into the life of politician, Samuel Pepys (Charlie Grant), in this horror-esque retelling as the figures and memories of Pepys' past come back to haunt him. The production does an excellent job of creating a frightening atmosphere throughout, greatly complimented by use of makeup and lighting. The audience, thanks to the intimate venue, is brought right into action. This is aided by the talented ensemble cast whos presence throughout puts the audience on edge in the perfect way. A special mention is necessary to Ailsa Tully who plays Elizabeth, Samuel's wife. Tully and Grant showcase excellent chemistry throughout, really showing the audience the difficulties and strain within their characters' marriage. This is historical drama done correctly. The perfect blend between fact and drama that keeps the audience engaged throughout.

Brilliant Show! Extremely clear vocalisation and superbly interesting content.

This is a fabulous show. The story weaves, seamlessly, through Samuel's life telling his story from his own writings - his work, his great love Elizabeth, his many infidelities. Clever characterisation is used to portray the events of the time and this is enhanced by the sound, the set and the venue. The performances were extremely well delivered. Go see it if you can.
