Melody

Work:: Melody (S409586165)

Melody s got secrets. Dirty, dark, sick-to-the-bottom-of-your-stomach secrets that she s hidden away from for years. The tattoos up her arms tell part of the story, but the truth is a lot more complicated. John, the boyfriend, thinks he knows Melody but he doesn t know the half of it. To him, it s just a question of presentation. Olive, Melody s irascible mother-in-law, thinks she knows all about it. She isn t afraid to put her oar in but she s got her version of events to hide. Ashley turns up at Melody s door on a mission to reveal everything. Only she doesn t know the full picture. The pressure that s been building up for years is about to boil over... Douglas Maxwell s Melody is a bitingly funny drama of a modern family s secrets and lies, reunion and revenge.

Reviews

UK Theatre Web: 06Apr06:
All in all, a Good night out. Lynne Ferguson amazing, but strange and amateurish performance from the teenage girl, ashley, played by Mhairi steenbock on whom much of the action hinges. Thats the only bad note in quite afunny and amusing piece.
