THE ASTONISHED HEART/STILL LIFE

by Noël Coward

Liverpool Playhouse January – February 2004

 Philip Wilson’s productions excavate these plays with a mixture of delicacy and extreme ruthlessness. They are full of exquisite period details, from the accents to the frocks. The acting is spot on. These are minor plays, but Wilson’s trick is to persuade you that they are minor masterpieces” The Guardian “There are moments in Philip Wilson’s expertly acted revival when you’d swear you were watching a precursor to Pinter, so heavy are the silences and so flimsy are the characters’ civilised veneers” The Telegraph
