Gertrude Elliott Scores in Mice and Men at National
Gertrude Elliott delivers a clever performance as Peggy the foundling raised by a scientist in Madeleine Lucette Ryley’s Mice and Men at the National Theatre. Forbes Robertson subordinates his role to Elliott’s leading turn, as Mark Embury’s failed plans collide with Peggy’s spirit and Lovell’s affection. The production blends humor and pathos, tracing Peggy’s growth and Embury’s transformation, climaxing in a hopeful final scene and a late appearance of Hamlet by Robertson.
