It’s an undemanding time passer, but as a spotlight on shame and indictment of the class system, A Judgement in Stone misses the target.
Valentine's Day massacres don't come much more quintessentially English than the one at the heart of Ruth Rendell's 1977 novel.
A Judgement In Stone feels older than its 40 years both in structure and content, though that’s no fault of the company who go about their business effectively.
It’s all good old-fashioned theatrical fun, though, and it has its powerful moments.
