I hope I get this good a eulogy at my own funeral. I have often sat at funerals, listening with interest to the stories and memories of the closest relatives. In a good eulogy, you are told what a marvellous person the deceased was; you are afforded the opportunity to smile in agreement or raise an eyebrow while thinking "this isn't the person I knew". In a great eulogy, you get to learn more about the deceased, perhaps a side of them you had never seen yourself.'Miller' by Paul Ferguson, written especially for Abeo Productions, opens at the funeral of James Miller with one of his sons, Paul, telling us how inspirational his father was. Keen to share his memories, and to make us understand just how influential he was to him, we are taken on the journey of Paul's life, discovering how his father featured prominently in all the most important memories and moments which shaped his character.We are transported back in time, on a voyeuristic journey through key episodes in Paul's development. From one of his earliest childhood memories sharing football games together on the terraces right through to Miller's eventual decline into dementia, the family man becoming a shadow of his former self.While the role of Paul is played by the same actor throughout, this play is made all the more exciting and unusual by the other three actors playing a range of parts, including repeatedly swapping roles, with each taking a turn to play Miller. It doesn't take long for the audience to spot the visual clue: the person wearing Miller's trademark flat cap is the man himself. It really works, and it allows each of the actors to shine and demonstrate the scope of their performing abilities.Nigel Allen's portrayal of Paul is outstanding, but every cast member delivers a stirling performance. We experience moments of happiness, of empathy, and sadness deep enough to prompt both a teary eye and a hearty laugh. Although the theme of football features heavily throughout the script, this play really has nothing to do with football. It's about a perfect relationship between father and son. It would be impossible not to relate to at least one of the finely crafted vignettes.An excellent cast, supported by a superb storyline and script. This was an extremely touching, emotive, poignant and well-executed piece of theatre. Full marks!
