Claustrophobia presented by Platform 4 at Lighthouse, Poole
The wind howls and the sign for the dilapidated Hotel Eden creaks desolately. The hotel is owned by an obsessional model-maker and staffed by his repressed daughter.
Quite what happened to the mother - who left behind a fabulous dress in a hatbox - is never revealed. And there are boxes everywhere.
Laden with references to Hitchcock and featuring a terrific role-play based on Tennessee Williams, the play is full of tension, humour and delightfully witty coordination.
This splendidly layered piece boasts a wonderfully detailed set and is perfectly suited to the intimate studio space at Lighthouse.
