Richard Hope
22nd May 2009, First Night Review - Richard Marmion: “Only Richard Hope brings light to the action as a lost soul excitedly awaiting the return of his estranged son”. “If Hope was a weather system he’d be a sweaty late summer night, with the promise of sunshine in the morning. Apart from that, the rain doesn’t stop falling”.About this person
