Caroline Silhol The Life Of Riley

Llun chwaraegar, dwyllodrus o ysgafn. Wedi ei addasu o Alan Aychbourn mae’r ddrama yma yn ddiedifar o theatrig. Yn ôl pob golwg yn cymryd lle yn swydd Efrog, gyda chast Ffrengig wedi ei ffilmio’n benaf ar lwyfanau sain artiffisial a choeth, daw Life of Riley dri chwpwl ar ei gilydd sy’n gweithio ar ddrama, ond sy’n gysylltiedig â’u cyfeillgarwch gyda George Riley.

A playful, deceptively light-hearted picture. Adapted from Alan Ayckbourn this play is unashamedly theatrical. Ostensibly taking place in Yorkshire, with a French cast and filmed largely on elaborate and artificial sound stages, Life of Riley brings together three couples who are working on a play, but also linked by their friendship with George Riley.

And the comments were as follows:

  • By George it was a spiffing yarn!
  • Surprised I enjoyed it… excellent ‘stage’ design – v. funny.
  • Amusing bizarre
  • A very French, feel-good farce! Fantastique.
  • Interesting presentation.
  • V. different!
  • Loved the black humour + music – but pacing could have been snappier.
