 | This is a brilliant production--spare, powerful, bold. Yvonne McDevitt brings out the drama in Paul Sellar's resourceful theatre-poem with unobtrusive, precise artistry. Jonathan Moore turns in an amazing performance, commanding the space with wit and horror. Not to be missed! - 86.130.26.120) | 08 Nov 06 |

| I really loved this show. It's totally simple, about an hour of a man talking in a chair but the starkness of that image will stick with me. It's not high-blown verse but it suits the character (comic and terrifying by turns, as a portrait of a journey into distruction it's like a modern "Maud"); it's a brave thing to try something like this in 2006 and the writer really pulls it off. A monologue about a gangster that's a million miles away from Talking Heads, seriously complimented by sound and light. Directors don't push the boundaries with monologues very often; watch it happen here. - 131.111.8.97) | 06 Nov 06 |
