Review: Knackerman at the White Bear Theatre Club, Kennington
It’s a clever concept: take a hard-to-solve 1950s crime, with a spider-web of deaths in its wake – and imagine the departed could talk. Though, of course, that would be too easy – where’s the suspense when the truth is so accessible? So in this new play, Knackerman’s writer Rosanna Negrotti cleverly – and with …
