Saraband by Ingmar Bergman (Jermyn Street Theatre, London, April 2009)

**** Critics’ Choice
Powerful… A quartet of terrific actors… Beautiful. Time Out

****
Elegant and open ended, Ingmar Bergman’s final film translates well to the stage. Derek Bond’s production draws detailed performances by well-blended ensemble. James Perkins’ set is a beautiful and witty installation, and Sally Ferguson’s  moody and elegant lighting aids both atmosphere and pace. Whatsonstage

A marvellously intimate theatrical experience, enhanced by James Perkins’ stark and beautifully minimal set… Engaging and moving to the end, Bond and his team have produced a tender yet powerful piece of theatre which is well worth seeing. Don’t Panic
