Stage-Wright Productions backed a winner in Suze Gardner's Motherland. A double first: new company and new play.
The script was amusing and informative, and portrayed the main character to perfection.

The central nocturne virtually sings with tunefulness, whilst the finale pays homage to his native Poland to which he would never return. The unqualified success of the...
