Creditors at Orange Tree Theatre: ‘the production just lies there, inert, on the stage’

Sometimes everything is in place – splendid cast, interestingly neglected classic text, thoughtful director – and yet the production just lies there, inert, on the stage. That’s what’s happened with Tom Littler’s revival of August Strindberg’s triangular psychodrama from 1888, starring the septuagenarian power trio of Charles Dance, Geraldine James and Nicholas Farrell.
