We know from the start that Charlotte’s book will be finished and published the relationship between her and Matthew is almost always amiable. Amelia Donkor’s Charlotte and Keith Macpherson’s Matthew are both engaging as they mimic gladiators, encounter a contemporary Roman soldier who teaches today’s children ancient battle techniques, learn from a builder how he recreated an ancient mosaic and so on.Īs the action progresses, though, no drama develops nothing is at stake. Director and designer Elizabeth Newman’s staging is playful: the actors transform bed and bookcase into the rickety van that also doubles as Boudicca’s chariot (“I’ll just nip to Halfords to get swords for the wheels,” says Matthew). Pitlochry’s outdoor amphitheatre, surrounded by trees, is appropriately atmospheric.
