We absolutely loved this unusual and superb production.
We weren’t in the theatre downstairs, we weren’t in the theatre upstairs. Janie and I were in a caravan with six other audience members and the cast.
It was about the floods that were/are affecting so many UK citizens.
Read about it on the Royal Court site here.
Official London Theatre explained it well, with a super picture, here...
Verbatim theatre. When it works it really works.
- Lyn Gardner in the Guardian gave it three stars but spoke very highly of it;
- Allison Vale in British Theatre Guide gave the production a deservedly rave review;
- Sarah Ditum liked it – here;
- as did The Birmingham Post when the show went up that way.
the caravan was only 35-40 minutes long, but this short piece has lingered long in our memories. Not much bowls us over these days, but this production really did.
