New Repertory Show
J)ESMOND MACCARTHY. in the “New Statesman and Nation,” in his review of the “Laughing Woman,” which is to be produced in the Concert Chamber next month by the Wellington Repertory Society, and directed by Mr Leo du Chateau, said: “Watching the ‘Laughing Woman' at the New Theatre was like re-reading at a happy moment of hallucination, pages from Mr. Ede’s ‘Savage Messiah,’ the book in which he made excitingly intelligible the queer story of the sculptor, Henri Gaudier, and of his sister, as he called her, Sophie Brzeska. I can only say that my companion, who had not rea-l it, found the stage version of those characters convincing and the situations interesting. The play was one worth following with our eyes and our eats.” The nine scenes in the play include a prologue find an epilogue, and many of the characters in the cast of thirty-one give opportunities for outstanding character work.
