AS A way of returning to life as we once knew it, Gin Craze! (?????), at the Royal & Derngate in Northampton, hits the spot ? as indeed does gin. It's a musical version (with lyrics by Lucy Rivers) of that Hogarth picture Gin Lane, showing the evils of gin: drunken mothers and penury. But April de Angelis's take is different: a 'Booze-Soaked Love Ballad From The Women Of Gin Lane'. Our heroines Lydia (Paksie Vernon) and Mary (Aruhan Galieva, pictured) set up as gin-sellers as a way of earning a living that doesn't involve prostitution.This brings them into conflict with the male Establishment: libidinous Henry Fielding (Alex Mugnaioni), the novelist and founder of the Bow Street Runners; and his blind brother John (Peter Pearson). Their opening number, Gin Lane Versus Beer Street, sums up the show. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
