Body-as-Scene

Physical theatre is not a medium I am particularly fond of but the company persuaded me that I should come and see their theatrical production. I went and I was not disappointed. There was certainly an awful lot of movement in this piece written by James Stock and on occasions is was difficult to know where to look on stage as there was always something going on at the same time.

The play centres around a family of three 'children' and their mother waiting for their father to return from war and the boy is trying to build wings to fly while his sister thinks they are angel wings. The mother seems to be suffering some form of breakdown while the oldest sister, who thinks she is grown up and treats her siblings accordingly. And there is a surprise in the end.

All this together with a well dressed set and quality design and direction make this a performance well worth experiencing.
