In truth I remember little about this play/production at the Lyric Studio, other than the fact that it was one of those plays with lots of video projection.
Mostly such plays leave us cold, which I think this one did, although sometimes, when done well, the mixture of live performance and video effects can be stunning, such as Bluets, which we saw last year (as I write in 2025):
But I digress.
David Leddy in Total Theatre Magazine didn’t like it.
It didn’t go down well in the Standard either.
But the piece does address…
“the transitional millennial crisis of identity and integrity, fuelled by postmodern uncertainties and deconstructions.”
…according to this academic piece, downloadable from ResearchGate if you, like me, have a free account there.
According to Janie’s diary, the piece was a merciful 80 minutes long and we went on to dine at a place called The Springbok Cafe on Devonshire Road in Chiswick- very appropriate given that Deborah Levy is of South African origin! Strangely, I remember the meal more than the play.
