GREAT skill and careful planning is important in theatre if an actor is be convincing when playing the dual role of twin brothers<br />
<br />
In this, Colin Baker is superb in the lead role(s) of Corpse, which is showing at the Grand Theatre, Wolverhampton.<br />
<br />
He plays both Farrants — the down-and-out Evelyn, who is plotting to murder his wealthy twin, and twin Rupert.<br />
<br />
Evelyn calls on the expertise of One Shot Wally McGee, a wily character, stylishly played by Jack Watling to kill Rupert.<br />
<br />
The plot is laid as Baker shows off his culinary ability by cooking — and eating — a Russian pancake on stage It smelled delicious.<br />
<br />
The plan starts to collapse (or does it?) and both brothers get caught in the crossfire<br />
<br />
The contrast between the twins is further reinforced by Alan Tagg's magnificent back-to-back revolving set,<br />
<br />
Half is Evelyn's dingy cellar flat. This turns to show Rupert's ritzy penthouse suite.<br />
<br />
Colin Baker turns in a brilliantly convincing performance.<br />
<br />
He and Jack Watling play out a realistic duel, the timing reflecting the precision of this show, which runs until tomorrow (Saturday)<br />
