The number and variety of Tim Hatley's sets are magnificent and the opening song of the second act "21st Century" is set in Doc Brown's laboratory with white coated assistants with lit up headdress helmets and so many lighting colour shifts from Hugh Vanstone and Tim Lutkin, it is really exciting. The printed circuit board lighting comes right out into the sides of the auditorium, surrounding the proscenium stage.

This has so terrified John that he has opted not to go back to his house but instead stay at a Bed and Breakfast. Brendan Coyle is completely believable as this man who has seen a ghost. He is shaken to his core. Rory Keenan actively listens with a repetitive "I know", his way of reassuring the client and mirroring the number of times John says, "You know." In this first scene we learn only about John's issues and Ian's professional side.

The central character to the play, and the main draw, is Madame Arcati. This part could have been written for Jennifer Saunders, it gives her plenty of opportunity to display her excellent comic talent and she does not disappoint. She has us all laughing with her sitting knees akimbo in the most unladylike posture, showing the inside of her thighs. Not exactly Sharon Stone! We love it when she arrives after a long bike ride, flapping her dress at the neckline and then hemline to cool off.
