The Shawshank Redemption
Moredun House had sealed their reputation as the home of American Naturalism with their hard-hitting and ambitious production of the Shawshank Redemption. Mr Jenkins and Mr Speedy put together a superb, challenging show with Tim M and Freddie F both believable, intense and dignified in the lead roles of Red and Andy Dufresne. Mohammad A, Nathan L-M and Alex W all did strong character work and Alex N made his portrayal of Brooksie fragile and weary. The scene when he leaves prison was a stand-out piece of excellent acting.
Balthazar B-N took great risks with his outstanding portrayal of Bogs Diamond. He and Peter B took on hugely challenging characters and performed them with genuine flair and real physical menace. They were brilliant and matched in terms of physicality and brutishness by Iain K.
Moredun were also keen to show off their abilities in tech and Dan S and Julius L deserve mention for the look of the show, together with the army of set-builders. In all it was a brilliant and inspiring show that even the storms could not stop.
