Last night I went to see the above.

It began with the audience being let into a room, thrust into an unruly world as actors moved around and danced and the music blared. Quickly, audience members realised seating was very, very limited and we all became a little but unnerved.

It was ultimately the sole feeling of othe play. We were constantly disrupting the performance aas the scenes took place around the cleverly designed set of scaffolding and decking. The design ultimately served its purpose, as the audience quickly adapted to breaking the tradition of being still at a performance.

Whilst the ending lacked a little bit of the conviction The show had retained up until then, the performance was ultimately strong, intense and enthralling as we gained a snapshot into what we were actually doing to ourselves and our environment through the generations.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable show by an extraordinary cast, an exemplarary design and costume work, and a music score that would take quite a lot to beat!

I thoroughly recommend it to anyone. It certainly makes you view not only theatre, but our world in a vey different way.
