TANGLE
February 7, 2008
Tangle by the Unlimited Theatre in association with the Corn Exchange, Newbury runs at the Northern Stage until Saturday Feb 9th.
There are four characters in TANGLE, Malcolm (Jon Spooner), Hamish (Chris Thorpe), Flora (Lucy Ellison) and Jocelyn (Gemma Brockis) who lead very separate lives but as the story progresses they all come together.
Basically, we have two scientists who are working deep underground on Wimbledon Common on a project which involves teleportation and is on the verge of an incredible break though.
Meanwhile thousands of miles away on Americas West Coast, a girl employs a detective to find her missing uncle. As they put the pieces together the trail leads them across the Atlantic to the testing station, deep underground on Wimbledon Common. One of the scientists who works at the testing station is searching for her long lost brother and when she finds the detective is adopted and was on the same flight as her that crashed in America several years before, she wonders if this could be her long lost brother .
