What Stephen had to say about Gabriel:
What James Christopher had to say about Gabriel:
Gabriel ..... Stephen Billington Jeanne Becquet ..... Lisa Harrow Major von Pfunz ..... Philip Fox Lily ..... Jennifer Scott-Malden Estelle Becquet ..... Gemma Eglinton Lake ..... Gillian Goodman
"Gabriel is a mysterious young man who is befriended by various women who have different ideas about who he is."
(Plays and Players, June 1997)"The play opens on Jennifer Scott-Malden's Lily (a Jewess and Jeanne's daughter-in-law) discovering a young man with no clothes and no memory washed up on the beach. Inevitable questions about his identity threaten the lives of the women who harbour him, particularly when the young man they dub Gabriel discovers he can speak fluid German. While Gemma Eglinton's precocious Estelle does her Famous Five bit, stealing the Major's diary, the serious matter of identity is played out between Scott-Malden's intense Lily and Stephen Billington's eerily angelic Gabriel."
(The Times, May 1997)
