Ring Round The Moon : Official London Theatre Guide enjoyed

The Official London Theatre Guide gave a great review...
To add to the farce, twins Hugo and Frederic are played by one actor, JJ Feild. As well as providing comic opportunities, the audience is treated to clever stage tricks in which we witness Feild running off one side of the stage as the slick Hugo, and enter a split second later across the set as the slower paced Frederic, with ruffled hair and little-boy-lost eyes.
The production manages to convey a sense of luxury whilst only using a minimalist winter garden set. The misted glass of the conservatory, where the action takes place, allows the characters to hide and move about, continually disappearing to the party that we never see. The glamour of that party is represented by Jason Carr’s score and the beautiful, elaborate costumes inspired by the decadence of 1950s Dior.
Whilst you have to remain utterly alert to follow the ever-evolving plot, Ring Round The Moon is full of comic one-liners and provides an evening of escapism to the glamour and apparent ridiculousness that lies beneath the surface of this group of upper-class eccentrics.
