Noel Coward's scintillating comedy "Hands Across the Sea" was presented by Otago University under Producer Michael Gill.
The dialogue is witty and brilliant, and makes great demands on the actors in both pace and timing. Its difficulty lies in the integration of two sets of conversation, and in maintaining action on the stage. The Otago cast overcame these difficulties admirably.
Helen Aldridge gave an excellent performance and was ably supported by Yvonne Looney as the forthright Clare Wedderburn. The general impression was of a polished performance.
