The drive over to 'The Land Of Dragons', the other side of the mountains, was good. We arrived at the venue, Los Arcos near Coin, wondering what the evening held in store for us and made our way to the lower floor where people were already gathering. There was an air of anticipation and conviviality as everyone made themselves comfortable perhaps wondering what would be revealed when the curtains in front of them were opened.

This air of bustle and low noise became subdued as a ring was heard, summoning those behind the curtains to take their places. An expectant hush settled over those present. Then the curtains slid open, as if removing the side wall of suburbia, and we were suddenly transported to an elegant, middle class sitting room in the 1940s. Comfortable, serene, another England.

Over the next few hours we sat intrigued as we voyeuristically watched the ebb and flow of relationships between the characters - the owners and hosts of this des res, their guileless maid, their eccentric visitor and their guests, both worldly and welcome and the unworldly, unwelcome. Part of the enjoyment of such an evening is trying to guess the next development of the plot, wondering at the next twist, certain and then uncertain of the ending.

However, one thing was certain Tapas had once again produced an excellent evening’s entertainment. The set was so real that you felt you wanted to join the characters for some tea and delicious cucumber sandwiches, or maybe something a little stronger as the spirits, both ethereal and liquid appeared and disappeared. The costumes were amazing, and like the set, so authentic that it brought back memories of my mother and sisters in my early, (very early), years. Another triumph for the Tapas wardrobe section! Add to this an excellent cast who convincingly played their parts to perfection and made us want to know what happened to their characters during this sedate, middle England rollercoaster of events. I always believe the yardstick of a professional production is that you believe in the characters.

Well done to everyone involved, both on stage and off, you all contributed to the (Blithe) spirit of a great evenings entertainment!!!
