The Winslow Boy – review | Stage | The Guardian
8 weeks ago by tabardroad
Christopher Ravenscroft movingly suggests Mr Winslow's advancing frailty as his reserves of strength and money are devoured by the case; while his wife (Susan Sylvester) vacillates between distress at the ruinous cost and delight at the opportunity to update her wardrobe

Christopher Ravenscroft’s depiction of Arthur inslow’s slow and painful physical breakdown over the course of the case is heartbreaking yet he also nails the older man’s sharp wit and keen brain...

The Winslow Boy Reviews at Octagon Theatre - Bolton - Whatsonstage.com
8 weeks ago by tabardroad
Christopher Ravenscroft (the sidekick detective in The Ruth Rendell Mysteries) plays Arthur Winslow as a chronic arthritic with a caustic wit and fatherly sternness mixed with an absolute determination to see the cause through to the end, no matter how difficult that may be.

Theatre review: The Winslow Boy at Octagon Theatre, Bolton
8 weeks ago by tabardroad
In the lead part of Arthur Winslow, Christopher Ravenscroft gives a remarkable performance of a man crippled by arthritis, obsessed with his cause but painfully aware of what it is doing to his family—but there are so many layers and subtle notes to his portrayal that it is impossible not to warm to this fully-rounded character.

The Conspirators – Orange Tree Theatre - The Good Review
september 2011 by tabardroad
The play is driven by an engine of older actors, all of whom have wonderful moments to shine. Christopher Ravenscroft’s, reasonable and ideologically superior Prosecutor is perhaps the highlight, he embodies a weariness and dissatisfaction which was wonderfully engaging.

Ultimately, Havel’s warning/message seems to be, as with the pre-Hitler Weimar Republic, democracy’s extreme vulnerability - be it due to personal agendas, misanthropic malevolence or even cool legal calculation as embodied in Christopher Ravenscroft’s superb State Prosecutor, himself not adverse to a spot of spanking. Would you trust democracy in these hands? Hardly.

David Rintoul gives a particularly strong performance here as a menacing Colonel Moher - the playful, psychopathic chief of police. Ritoul’s strident delivery and dominating stage-presence is perfectly counterpointed by Christopher Ravenscroft as the cerebral but ultimately weak Dykl

The Comedy of Errors « The Dooley Review
august 2010 by tabardroad
The only time that I actually felt really moved was when the father of the twins (played very well by Christopher Ravenscroft) was reunited with his wife. However, this beautiful moment was ruined a little by the American tourist behind me who exclaimed ‘Old people are, like, so cute!’.

Egeon, a merchant of Syracuse, is its sober strand. Christopher Ravenscroft keeps his performance straight and, velvet-voiced, makes admirable sense of his complicated family history.

42nd Street, Festival Theatre, Chichester, The Comedy of Errors, Regent's Park, London - Reviews, Theatre & Dance - The Independent
july 2010 by tabardroad
Moments of tenderness are trampled in the rush, despite the heroic efforts of Christopher Ravenscroft as dignified Egeon. And while the moochy dance band music is pleasing, with a couple of sassy numbers from Anna-Jane Casey thrown into the mix, it strips away the pace of this breathless farce. For a lesson in how music can propel the action rather than hold it up, see Women Beware Women at the National, and gulp in awe.

...Thus the old Syracusan merchant Egeon has been arrested and arraigned by a tall, white-suited Duke in a gendarme's hat that makes him look like General de Gaulle. Ragged and manacled, Christopher Ravenscroft makes Egeon's long, usually boring speech of explanation, one of riveting interest...
