Judgment Day: mixed review from BTG
Peter Lathan from the British Theatre Guide had mixed feelings about the production, but highlighted Joseph's performance as being on top form.
Joseph Millson plays Thomas Hudetz, a stationmaster with matinee hero good looks, based in a sleepy little town that might be located on either side of the Czech-German border. He is perfection personified in his bearing and professional performance.
If there is a weakness, it is connected to a shrewish wife 13 years his senior, played by Suzanne Burden. The rights and wrongs are unclear but his susceptibility to temptation forms the play's core. In a moment of madness, Hudetz succumbs to a kiss from the publican's engaged daughter and enters his own personal tragedy.
James Macdonald's production is atmospheric and there are allegorical messages to be mined but even though Joseph Millson is on top form, Judgement Day feels slight, much more the stuff of an easily forgotten short story than a novel or epic drama.
