Review of Spider's Web

I say this as I am a fans of Agatha Christie's, and have been for 10 years now. The play is very charming and great fun to watch, and I enjoyed every minute of this telepathy. Visually it has a very cosy and evocative look and is well-photographed. The music matches beautifully the light-hearted tone without jarring, while the dialogue has the spirit of The Queen of Crime's prose balancing mystery, humour and whimsy with no problem. The story is faithful and compelling(the ending included), with plenty of charm and suspense(you are kept guessing right to the end which is the making of a good Christie adaptation), and it was a good idea to keep the characters emotionally synthetic as they were in the play. The acting is very good indeed, though Robert Flemyng and Thorley Walters, while still good, were deserving of more to do. Penelope Keith takes the lead and she commands it wonderfully in a very sharp performance. Holly Aird is enjoyably macabre, and Elizabeth Spriggs evidently looks as though she is having the time of her life, her mannerisms ensure that it is enormous fun watching her. To conclude, very well done with a lot to love about it. 9/10 Bethany Cox
