Treasured (General, Liverpool)
Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | Highly atmospheric, visuals and music eerily intertwined. The story angle was good and well acted though slightly lacking in drama with regard to the disaster itself. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable piece which neatly crossed different genres. - Chris Effendowicz | 10 Nov 12 |
| An ambitious and varied piece that succeeded well in parts. There were poignant moments and the piece as a whole inspired reflection on humanity's hubris. - Subflaneur | 07 Nov 12 |
| A fresh and engaging take on the story. The clever staging, amazing visuals and aerialist, and beautiful music all made great use of the incredible space inside the cathedral to create an enjoyable immersive experience. - Paul B | 07 Nov 12 |
| Treasured was,for me,a tender re-telling of a terrible tragedy in the Brechtian Style.Haunting music, played beautifully by Brendan Ball. - Mrs. M Buttimer | 10 Oct 12 |
| A very engaging take on the story. Personally I was pleased that it was not wallowing in sentimentality, which seems to be the normal treatment of the subject. The narration intertwined with the dialogue was excellent, and I loved the haunting music echoing from the back. - Jeff Kalecki | 10 Oct 12 |
| Very engaging evocation of a fascinating event in history. Awesome visuals, and aerialist, and affecting music - the reverb helped the music and made the spoken words harder to hear (though I got more than 90%). Appreciated the lack of sentimentality and moments of poetry. - Ajay Gilbert | 08 Oct 12 |
| Severely underwhelmed. The performance was a reciting of Titanic facts by some characters with dubious accents. The tour was being led into the cathedral by a back door and quickly past some props. The projection was good, but only from certain angles. The aerial performance was a girl swimming for a minute. The general mood was disappointment with much murmuring and apologies at the end. - Andy Smith | 07 Oct 12 |
