Theatre: Fringe

Time Out says Rate it

Shining Man's revival of this 2003 play by Simon Stephens is timely, both because because it deals with the kidnapping of a young girl – a subject with which we've become all too familiar – and because Shining Man's revival of this 2003 play by Stephens is timely, both because because it deals with the kidnapping of a young girl and because Stephens has gone on to write major pieces. Some people will find this elusive play too lacking in detail to give them any pleasure; others will enjoy the emphasis on things unsaid, the passing, unexplained allusions to important events and the odd little pauses when someone goes to make a cup of coffee. Director Robert Wolstenholme keeps the tension up throughout, although the insertion of an interval into such a short play is a mistake. Christopher Hone's pod-like design neatly opens up to reveal sofas, car seats, tables and cupboards – it could well have a future as the ultimate fringe theatre set.
