Jennifer Saunders is to play the Duchess of Berwick in Kathy Burke’s eagerly anticipated production of Oscar Wilde’s Lady Windemere’s Fan
Russell is the key to the trio, the ebullient, man-hungry, life-grabbing, and casually irritating Rose. Outhwaite is forthright and calming and when her world collapses, the pain is clear, bruising and sensitively conveyed. Her funeral oration in Act Two is especially good. Spiro imbues the most difficult character of the three with insight and understanding. Her final scene with Outhwaite is powerful indeed.
