'The Red List' is a brilliant chamber play, brought to life by the superb acting of both Sophie Aldred and Paul Clayton, with strong support from Manuel Pacific. The entire production thrives on the dialogue between Aldred (playing Dorothy 'Ace' McShane) and Clayton (playing St John Colchester). Both are just brilliant voice actors, and it is a pure delight hearing them converse, discuss, banter, argue, and try to figure out what's going on.

A few times, and at the end, the story leaves the confines of the chamber play unfolding in two neighboring hotel rooms. But these 'breaks' with the format fit absolutely organically into the whole of the story and just further heighten the quality. Great work from the writer James Goss and the rest of the production crew.

Are there also weaknesses? I think not as such. Sure, the story leaves many questions open, but it is the kind of story where getting all the answers is not the point. So I do not see that as a weakness. But your mileage may vary.

All in all, definitely a story I will listen to a few more times. :)
