REVIEW OF FRONTLINE

REVIEW OF FRONTLINE: "t's a new play by Ch�Walker, an actor and playwright who's already experienced the massive stage at this venue - he had a part in last year's production of Othello. Imagine Bartholomew Fair translated to the precincts of say Camden Town tube station on a Saturday night and you get some idea of his work's topographical vigour.

'The Frontline' doesn't have a traditional kind of plot, though there's a thread of a story line running through it. In a way, the play is more a series of snapshots of life as it takes place around a tube station somewhere in London. 'Somewhere', because the kind of activities that go on there could happen in many different parts of London. However, Ch�Walker did much of his research in Camden where he lives, and some of the scenes can reminded you of the eclectic atmosphere - what estate agents often call a 'vibrant atmosphere' - that flourishes in Camden and the environs of its teaming tube station."
