The Collector
“Cellars are this season’s must have for the budding psychopath, as the horrific Fritzl story shows, so it’s a creepy coincidence that John Fowles’ play THE COLLECTOR should be running at the Etcetera Theatre this week. This two-hander works claustrophobically well in ‘London’s smallest theatre’ … Do not expect a happy ending. This is an intensely dramatic hour and 20 minute performance with (distressingly) strong performances from Laurence Brown and Rachael Hewer, who somehow manage to inject some dark humour into this discomfiting play. Eight quid well spent and food for thought for potential cellar-owning psychos.” Londonist, May 2008
