Director Jason Langley has done an admirable job of ensuring the contemporary relevance of what threatened to be a parochial narrative. He ensures that the play does not become mired in the minutiae of its more antiquated elements, liberally employing a smattering of present-day songs performed by the multi-talented cast, which perfectly bookend the performance’s acts. This could have had the effect of being jarring – bringing the audience out of the action – but the poise with which these songs are performed in a style befitting a 1920s cabaret revue proves a superb augmentation to Coward’s insurgent wit.

Andrew MacNiven – Colosoul

The third-year acting students blitz Noel Coward's parlour melodrama Easy Virtue matching Broadway extravaganzas for purpose, and for sheer entertainment. Much credit is due to director Jason Langley, who marshalled a knockout How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying for WAAPA last year. Langley doubles the size of the cast by adding a sassy, slinky chorus who sing and play their way through a set of Coward numbers, from the satiric Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage Mrs Worthington to the sentimental Mad About the Boy.
There were a couple of clever versions of recent hits, a gorgeous take on Sia's Titanium and Christina Aguilera's Beautiful along with much eavesdropping, interjecting and lascivious hanging about from all and sundry.
It all worked swimmingly, as did the device of reciting Coward's often very droll stage directions, which added a nice Brechtian touch and gave others in the chorus a piece of the spotlight.
