Leeds Student Independent Newspaper 19th November 1993 I Arts Love Is The Drag Torch Song Trilogy Theatre

he Raven Theatre is a banal place: to create even a semblance of interest requires massive effort; to achieve its resplendent tackiness in this production was nothing Tshort of miraculous. But the worked-on, camped-up theatre was only the beginning. Torch Sung Trilogy could be an incredibly trite gay soap. Arnold is a drag-queen who falls in love with Ed, whose weakness and fear (too closely aligned with bi-sexuality for my liking) leads him to marry Laurel. Laurel is terribly earnest, in a wet liberal sort of way, and she invites Arnold and his new love, Alan, to stay for the weekend. Arnold and Ed spend the afternoon in bed; Ed makes it with Alan; Arnold and Laurel wage a muted war. Later Alan is killed and Arnold wants to adopt a young bum called David. Ed has moved back in with Arnold after his separation from Laurel. Arnold's mum comes to stay and words are exchanged But Torch Song Trilogy is not trite; it's remarkable. And this producion was fantastic. Jon Spooner's portrayal of Arnold was breath-taking. His slight frame was the point through which all the characters' energies were routed and transformed. His control was perfect, his exuberance beautiful. As a result, William Wollen as Ed could uncurl with taut uncertainty and finally declare his love with unforced pathos. Michael Fieldman, first as Alan then David, merged casual arrogance and grasping vulnerability to produce an eager eroticism. This doubling of characters worked wonderfully, and had equally exciting effect with Nicky Smith. Her earnest, screwed-up Laurel and her sumptuously sexy night-club singer played off each other to spark dramatic and sexual complications which enriched the major exploration of gay male sexuality. This enrichment reached its apotheosis with the relationship between Arnold and his Ma. Ma's anguish over her son's gayness and her genuine longing to still be able to love him were represented by Lucy Thurnhurst with a tenderness and anger which evinced tears and trembling in more than one member of the audience. I've dwelt on the acting because it was stunning. But nearly everything about this production was stunning: the band, the staging„ the costumes, the lighting, the show-biz. Clare Duffy, the director, deserves praise upon praise. The Raven Theatre will never be the same again.
