 The company of Emma Bailey,
Natasha James, Richard Jackson and Broderick Chow who also wrote and
edited the piece devised this piece of part drama, part physical
theatre.
Alan, Richard Jackson, and Nina,
Natasha James are brother and sister living in the North of England, and
have a mysterious past. Everything is boring and routine until the
introduction of young American Matt, Broderick Chow, who unsettles the
relationship and also has issues of his own, strangely similar to the
brother and sister and he becomes the catalyst to a whole mess of
actions.
This in itself is fine, but why is
there a clown, Emma Bailey, acting as a narrator to the piece and why is
there so much use of this curtained box that is manoeuvred around the
stage for reasons that escaped me.
This is a strange, yet interesting
play and well acted, but I’m afraid it was not really my thing.
