If
you like your theatre light and fluffy, then Act Provocateur
International are perhaps not the company for you. If on the other
hand you are into more substantial theatre, always wonderfully
acted and skillfully directed then they should be very near the top
of your list of companies.
This
play, written by the company Artistic Director Victor Sobchak, is
set in the flat of Katya, played by Trine Thielen, as she waits
anxiously by the phone for a call from her English lover, who has
left to fly home.
The
writing and direction give reign for Ms Thielen to display her
acting skill to good effect as her story is told, of love, hope,
desire, despair and her desperation to leave Mother Russia.
There
was only problem with this production for me was that it was too
short, but it was 45 minutes very well spent.
