ANOTHER PART OF THE WOOD

One would imagine that camping in a lovely cottage in the Welsh countryside would result in a heavenly holiday for this group of adults and children. Michael Tudor Barnes provides suspense as he creates the backdrop for impending disaster. As tension builds among the vacationing eccentrics, Barnes stays well abreast of their irritating habits, problematic relationships, and dysfunctional behaviors as they become more and more miserable, despite the idyllic setting. His performance reflects mounting tension as their squabbles and self-centered behaviors distract them from a child’s severe personality disorder, resulting in a disastrous culmination of events.
