REVIEW: Second Soprano, King's Head ✭✭✭✭✭

In this theatre season where commemoration and remembrance of the outbreak of the First World War are much to the fore, many of the most successful dramatic ventures are small-scale. In some ways this fine double-act, written by Martha Shrimpton and Ellie Routledge, and performed by Shrimpton and Olivia Hirst, is the mirror-image of Stony Broke in No Man’s Land, which I reviewed here recently. Both are virtuosic displays of actorly craft, using multiple genres, creating manifold roles, and mixing mood and manner, music and words to create an ineffable and individual blend of humour and pathos. As a result the act of commemoration is made more complex and ultimately, I would say, more moving, than a simple, full-on narrative or historical approach.

ANMELDELSE: Stony Broke In No Man's Land, Finborough Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭

Med det væld af film og teaterstykker, der findes om Første Verdenskrigs tragedier og spild af menneskeliv, var jeg i starten i tvivl om, hvorvidt temaerne her overhovedet kunne røre mig – både satiren og sorgen er trods alt blevet gennemarbejdet flittigt i tidens løb. Men på sin egen underspillede, men insisterende facon, formåede dette tostykke at formidle krigens varige aftryk på de efterladte stærkere end mange storstilede dramaer. Det ville være fantastisk at se Brett og Williams gentage deres præstationer på en landsdækkende turné, så Stony Broke kan nå ud til et bredere publikum i disse mindeår. Din foretrukne kilde til britiske teaternyheder siden 1999.
