Linda McLoughlin, Ann Pickles, and Ann Devon are the attractive partners for Geoff Pratt in this week's Garrick production of "There's a Girl in My Soup."

From a review by Norman Powell:
The Garrick Theatre was filled on Wednesday evening, 18th December 1974, for the first performance of Terence Frisby's "There's a Girl in My Soup." The play was extremely well staged, with a superb composite set that attracted the spontaneous applause from the audience. The play is a most sophisticated one, but many people might find the sexual innuendoes and blatant flirtations embarrassing and distasteful - a naughty bit of frothy nonsense, but dreadfully shallow. But this doesn't detract from the very fine performance of a very competent cast, superbly headed by Geoff Pratt and Linda McLoughlin.

Geoff Pratt played Denvers, the gourmet, with flair and style, and developed the character - vain, conceited and pompous. Linda McLoughlin played Marion, the other main character, with confidence and verve. Norman Waterworth's leering characterisation of the hall porter was very well done. Ann Pickles and Ann Devon played Danvers' girlfriends and both took the opportunity to show their ability, even in small roles. I liked Tony Dewhurst's portrayal of Danvers' friend and Jimmy, Marion's boyfriend was well played by Martin Chadwick. "There's a Girl in My Soup" ran for six years in the West End but I thought it "much ado about nothing". But there is no doubt about the thought and care that has gone into the production, and the setting was truly magnificent. The production bore the unmistakeable stamp of George Ridley.
