Review
Alison Graham
Paula is a comprehensive-school chemistry teacher who’s trying to forget a stale affair with a married PE master she now desperately rebuffs. He’s persistent, though, leaving inappropriate notes for her at work and grabbing hold of her on the stairs under the gimlet gaze of the disapproving head.
Conor McPherson’s dark thriller takes a torrid turn when Paula (the admirable Denise Gough) unwisely calls in an odd-jobman, James, (Victoria’s Tom Hughes, trailing a very strong whiff of sulphur) to deal with a rat problem. Though he ends up doing a lot more than ridding Paula of vermin.
It’s a weird one; James has a strange domestic set-up that has yet to be explained while Paula herself, though initially sketched as a woman in control of her life, gets lost in a maelstrom of awful men. But the two leads, who are superb, keep the attention.
