Yesterday Keemin and I went to see luna-id's production of Naomi Wallace's One Flea Spare. (Here's another write-up on the play.)
Unfortunately, though I'm a former theatre-major, I can't provide a review for this play. I simply have no opinion on the various aspects of its staging. They were simply ho-hum/adequate but nothing in particular caught my eye. Perhaps Keemin will do a better job in his blog.
However, the play itself (themes, scenes, characterisation and dialogue) was amazing! It starts with a wonderfully shocking line: "What are you doing out of your grave?" and then moves on to tackle issues of class, status and society in the face of death.
It was thought-provoking and mind-blowing. This is one of those plays that stays with you even after you've left the theatre. There are several elements that etch themselves onto your brain. And even days afterwards, you might still be mulling over what you've seen and heard.
I would encourage the rest of you to go and see it too, but I know you're all busy. Leonard, if you ever have the time, you should read it.
