(Rated 7/5 )
Have to do a quick review of this as don’t want it to
disappear out of my heart, mind and memory before I record my experiences of it
for posterity.
Sadly I was in a fair amount of pain and discomfort as I watched
and wasn’t able to fully engage or experience it – massive shame for such an
exceptional performance!
Original poem by Federico Garcia Lorca – this version was a
modern day interpretation by Simon Stone. Well written, moving, clever use of flowing
dialogue – people talking over each other etc - and humour but so clearly
written by a bloke lol. I miss what I imagine was the powerful beauty of Lorca’s
original and hope to at least read that one day. This version made a huge
impact though and the entire cast excellent.
Billie Piper – as ‘Her’ – is astonishingly powerfully natural
and 1000% believable! Even pretending to be happy you get that – you get the
realness of her faking. Her Method is Living in Perfect Genuine Emotion
