Outspoken, hilarious, talented and with her heart in the right place, Margolyes is always good valuie to watch. This show mixed stories from her life, with short performances of Dickens characters, bring them fully to life within a few seconds. Her ability to swap around during dialogue, to introduce the right levels of pomposity, or avarice, or innocence, the swiftly changing body language, is a mini master class. And the intonation and expressiveness of her voice shows just why she is in such demand to record audio books.
As an added bonus there was a short Q&A session, with her tour manager reading out a few queries from the audience. As unfiltered as ever Miriam was swift to give her opinions. It was good to hear a prminent Jewish voice condemning outright the current criminal and genocidal actions of the Israeli government, and saying what needs to be said about the likes of Trump and Farage - she is very defintely not a fan of either of these manipulative liars.
Wonderful entertainment, a standing ovation, and it all felt far too short a time...
