But, come the final whistle, they were appreciative of his talents.Chris O'Grady does not possess the same pace; the same electric ability to tear apart teams with a driving, twisting, awe-inspiring run; to win matches single-handedly.

  Following its successful run at the same venue two years back 1984 returns to the Playhouse. It's the same production, with a lot of the same actors, but, one understands, some tactical adjustments here and there.Protagonist Winston Smith this time is played by a well-cast Matthew Spencer. Balding and slight, he captures perfectly a down-trodden, powerless man almost overwhelmed in a totalitarian state. Almost that is, because Spencer uses his eyes to suggest that Smith still hasn't had his...
