Welcome to The Ministry of Riggism Repository (MoRR) - sister group to the The Ministry of Riggism (MoR).
Please note that most discussion takes place at MoR - So, why not pop over to MoR!
Here are some quotes from reviews of 'Hay Fever':
Worthing Herald: "Diana Rigg, apparently relishing her role as Judith, has some great lines ("I have been an extremely nice woman all my life - more or less") and knows how to put them across effortlessly but to maximun effect"
The Guardian: "She captures the sense of Judith as a queen of the greasepaint jungle miscast as a rural hostess: there is a genuine vehemence behind her cry: "I won't stagnate as long as there's breath in my body""
StrollingPlayer.com: "..an inspired partnership, Diana Rigg and Simon Williams show the younger players how to milk their audience dry...Judith Bliss, played by Diana Rigg, is a retired but still glittering star of the London stage and floats through life taking every small incident as a cue for a big scene...Both Diana Rigg and Simon Williams fit comfortably into the skins of their characters..."
Daily Express: "Diana Rigg heads the cast as faded actress Judith Bliss - looking...far from faded with a super elegant haircut and in various stylish outfits...She delivers the few really funny lines with perfect comic timing..."
Independent: "Dame Diana, hair cut beautifully, voice as smoky as a Sobranie cigarette, makes an extravagant point of having pruned calceolarias, presiding over the charades in fetching mauve trousers and a bejewelled tunic; she even sings that "little French song" at the grand piano. She makes Judith's monstrosity charming, and proves that in playing Coward, less is always more than enough"
The Stage: "Diana Rigg provides Judith with a splendid character - part actress, part middle aged woman - and in discussion able to to take centre stage on every ocassion with total self-confidence"
