The Three Students is an intriguing blend of crime and mystery, set against the backdrop of academia, which gives it a unique atmosphere. Ridgwell's direction creates a palpable tension as Hilton Soames, the Greek lecturer, becomes embroiled in a web of suspicion surrounding his students. The pacing feels deliberate, slowly unraveling the layers of each character's motive. You can sense the claustrophobia of the setting, as the three students all live under the same roof, which adds to the unease. Performances are solid, especially in how they convey the conflicting emotions of ambition and desperation. Practical effects, while modest, serve the narrative well, letting the story's darker themes rise to the surface without overshadowing the character dynamics.
