I went to th the Edinburgh Fringe production of this play as a time filler while I waited for friend to join me.
It stopped me dead in my tracks. So sweaty and visceral was the acting that, despite having to suspend belief very significantly because of the plot, I was happy to do so and was entirely taken in to their world by two actors giving their all in a breathtaking performance. I genuinely feared for the wellbeing of the female actor at times…an indication of my engagement with the players.
Full marks to all concerned – this play, and the players deserve all of the praise being heaped on them here.They also deserve MUCH bigger audiences, but that is the serendipity of the Fringe I’m afraid – and the fact that it has sold it’s soul to comedy.
