Review: Solve, theSpace on the Mile (Venue 39b)
* * *
Responses to the imminent event range from enthusiasm to psychosis but each is individually compelling. At odds with the serious concept, though, is the comedy throughout, which doesn’t quite work. Despite this, the nervous energy is chillingly effective and the play manipulates our loyalties well by quickly creating likeable characters, only to dismantle the connection five minutes later. Such disorientation would have been even more effective with some exploration of the wider political implications. Overall, however, Bracket Theatre portray this miserable situation with a tingling intensity which reaches a screaming, ominous and powerful end.
Until today, 7:05pm.
