Marssie Mencotti as the matter-of-fact Irma unselfconsciously steals every scene she’s in. She’s brilliant nibbling on an olive or sipping her perpetual ‘rum and cola.’ And she can turn a ho-hum remark like, “When it rains, it rains — don’t it?,” into a snappy reflection on fate.

• Queen Aggravain in “Once Upon A Mattress” at Emerald City Theatre Company
• Duchess of Denver in “Whose Body?” at Lifeline Theatre Company [review]

Outstanding among the cast were Marssie Mencotti as Wimsey’s Duchess mum. Mencotti has the style of her role down perfectly and stole every scene she was in.
