 The rest of the production is not so good. Brian Scoltock as Tony and Janet Blackely, as the girl who loves him, lack the bright sophistication which would give deadly point to Barrett's scheming. Roger Dettmeer needs more weight as Tony's publisher friend Richard Merton. All in all, the world that comes into collision with Barrett's is not clearly enough defined.
-Vivienne Miles, as the sensual Vera, is good in her scenes with Barrettt, though inclined when with Tony to play it with gloves on, Sarah Saunders has a certain flaunting power as the seconf of Barrett's imports, and her work nicely brings the play to its sad conclusion.

 Robert Maugham's novel "The Servant" achieved its wider fame at second hand, through the powerful Joseph Losey film, scripted by Harold Pinter and dominated by Dirk Bogard's chilling performance as the servant-turned-master Barrett.
-Maugham's own adaptation for the stage enabled him, as it were, to get out from under this formidable team, and to speak with his own voice. It proves to be no unworthy voice, though I feel a more experienced dramatist would have found a more free-flowing alternative to the nine self-contained scenes which defeat the tensions if his play.

 The theme is  one of psycho-sexual domination, as the deferential Barret works on the weakness of his master Tony. Like some evil weed pushing its way through a garden he gradually comes to rule the house on his own terms leaving the weak and drunken Tony trailing weakly at his command.
