 | | Candida tells the story of a quirky and sensitive poet, Marchbanks (Arlen Konopaki), who traipses into the home of a socialist priest, Morrell (Mat Busby), declaring his love for the priest’s wife, Candida (Simone Saunders). |
 | | In its time, Candida was considered a “strong woman” play, because she exercises the power to choose between the men, and relishes it. |
 | | Played as a hilarious, floppy dandy who leaps and bounds skittishly around the stage, he is so excitable and neurotic that at one point he hurls himself, face first, into the couch, sticks his butt in the air and addresses Candida from there. |
