Comments on: Review – David Leddy’s Sub Rosa, Hill Street Theatre http://www.sanstaste.com/2010/08/22/review-david-leddys-sub-rosa-hill-street-theatre/ A London theatre blog Tue, 31 Jan 2012 06:50:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Diane Burstein http://www.sanstaste.com/2010/08/22/review-david-leddys-sub-rosa-hill-street-theatre/comment-page-1/#comment-667 Diane Burstein Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:37:44 +0000 http://www.sanstaste.com/?p=522#comment-667 I loved Sub Rosa and disgree with your comments about it being disappointing. It was very atmospheric, performances compelling and much better than Punchdrunk shows where you have to wander around looking for the action and miss half the plot! However I agree that it would work well in a theatre. Wiltons Music Hall in London's East End would be the ideal transfer venue!

I agree with the "low budget" comment, however, there was a few bob's worth of lighting not to mention the set up costs. All in all a bit of a disappointment which I think was shared by most. Your comments about elements seeming to be "tacked on" was exactly my thought. I'd like to see a second act.

By very definition, a coup de theatre is sensational. I don't believe an underwhelming coup de theatre exists, or rather, there even is one if the climax is underwhelming. “the final coup de theatre is underwhelming”
