 Ann Walker is Jean, the one who has nursed her mother through the whole unedifying ordeal. Her own marriage on the rocks, childless and embittered, she yet manages to squeeze a kind of bleak humour out of the situation. In spite of the theme, the evening is actually almost as funny as it is sad.
-Pam Lyne plays the dying mother. With only a few words to speak she gives a totally compelling performance. It is all to easy to believe that she is really dying before our very eyes. Here is acting of a high order. They also serve who only lie and waste.

 "Skirmishes" is by the Liverpool playwright Catherine Hayes, and the first thing to say is that the play is vibrant with truth.
-The second thing is that Paul Beech's production is riveting from first to last. Seldon is a single word wasted, and the understanding between the two actresses is wholly admirable, each reacting to every change of mood of the other.

 One thing that causes me some uneasiness is that the accents of the two sisters are unlike as chalk and cheese. The fact that Rita has been away for years would hardly account for her north country tones against Jean's standard English.
