As We Forgive Them
SET in America last year with a new President elected, a teacher arrives at a state penitentiary to give lessons to a convicted murderer classed as retarded.
But as Richard Vergette's fascinating work unravels, we learn that the teacher, played by Vergette himself, is Congressman John Daniels and it was his daughter who was murdered by the prisoner. Will he exact revenge or succeed in teaching him about redemption?
Both Vergette and Joe Simms, who plays the prisoner Lee Fenton are two first rate, professional actors and it shows in their delivery and timing. As they progress from tutor and pupil to a very different relationship, it's one full of unexpected surprises.
Expertly directed by Andrew Pearson, this is another example of the high standard of quality productions which are part of this year's Festival. Not to be missed.
As We Forgive Them runs until Sunday, July 26 (no show July 25).
