s1e11 & s1e12 (1974) - 6/10

1️⃣ and : 15 years earlier they were laying down the law, on and , but in this 2-hour story they are causing all sorts of problems for and .

2️⃣ It’s a standard tale. Protagonist arrives in closed community, starts asking questions, gets in trouble for it. This script doesn’t add much you haven’t seen before. There’s a bland love story in the mix.

s1e8 (1955) - 10/10
Excellent fast-paced thriller.

1️⃣ A terse opening narration drops us right in the middle of the action, right in the middle of a police chase. A device containing potentially-lethal radioactive pellets has been stolen.

2️⃣ As Mathews () frantically tries to find it, we watch the device move from person to person. The script and performances making each one seem real, interesting, funny, and even romantic!

Currently looking for an experienced lead to play the role of Dan Matthews. If you have extensive experience in Shakespearean theatre, please direct message me with your curriculum vitae and availability.
