Barcelona review: Now it's Emily in Barcelona, a rom-com with a Spanish hunk and a dark twist, writes GEORGINA BROWN
All thanks to Lily Collins's Emily, the unsquashably chirpy charmer who waltzes around Paris in outfits to die for, failing to learn French and so forcing everyone to speak English.
Director Lynette Linton’s production opens with a ghostly vibe, as the shadow of a young woman dances on the wall, and then – with a chilling scream – comes over all gothic horror. Mysterious Manuel (a fine, understated Alvaro Morte, who plays criminal mastermind The Professor in Netflix crime series Money Heist) rolls up the sleeves of his black shirt and sets his jaw. But when she returns he opens a bottle of rioja, licks her foot and they giggle about the penis-shaped whistle she finds in her pocket (one of the spoils of the hen-do) before the play takes an unconvincing talky turn.
