Synopsis
The play follows two boys leading separate lives connected by one event. At the age of eight Brian Lackey is found bleeding under the crawl space of his house, having endured something so traumatic that he cannot remember an entire five-hour period of time.
Our Review:
23 May 2013
Vertigo Theatre Productions have never shied away from plays covering topics that other companies fear to tackle and Prince Gomolvilas' play only reinforces that.
Scott Haim's original novel has been condensed with superb skill into two hours of mesmerising, albeit uncomfortable theatre. The play revolves around two young men. Brian is haunted by recurring dreams of strange events and is convinced that he has been abducted by alien.
He meets Avalyn (who believes she is an abductee) to help him find out what happened. Neil is gay and turned to hustling at the age of 15, after realising it could be very lucrative for him, but he himself has his own issues around why he turned to that form of employment.
But as the play unfolds, through flashbacks and present time events, it becomes clear that the two young men are linked by a terrible event from their childhood which has left Brian so traumatised that he can't remember it and Neil affected that he can...
