53Two: Marbles25th April 2017

Our fantastic Gemma Hepworth recently appeared in MARBLES as part of The Significant Other Festival at 53two Theatre, Manchester.

Gemma Hepworth plays Grace on the warm side of crazily optimistic in deliberate contrast to Felicity Walsh‘s charity worker Fern, whose eyes are only too open to the unhappy realities of life. Both actors are impressive, making the most of a script that teases big emotional nuances out of the smallest remark and most inconsequential detail. It’s beautifully done on all levels, with Fern and Grace rediscovering their closeness in a happy ending that manages to avoid tweeness by being played for real.
