The Beloved (The Bush Theatre, Inner London)

 | Started off well. I was gripped for the first 10 minutes or so and settled down for what I thought was going to be a well acted, thought provoking play but it went downhill from there. 'Sheep' were confusing, writing was all over the place. The Abraham/Issac analogy was not really explored - there seemed too many 'themes' just thrown in; one touched on forgotten about and on to the next. I could only recommend this to a seasoned theatre-goer. - Lesley Christian | 03 Jun 12 |
| I felt I was watching an succession of impressions. David Brent and Alison Steadman with a spitting Image Scotsman thrown in for good/bad measure. The dialogue was tedious and going nowhere. What is the point I kept thinking? Fortunately I was relieved of having to sit through the second act due to the indisposition of one of the cast members ..... perhaps they'd had enough of it too? The Bush well off form. - rds | 19 Feb 10 |
