Cars and Boys is a blackly comic and profoundly moving portrait of a towering woman battling with her mortality.
Stuart Paterson's free-form poem of a play about an ailing woman reflecting on her life is more evocation than drama, and it deftly avoids the maudlin.
The pity of the play’s lack of dramatic drive is that the production is blessed with a fine central performance by Ann Louise Ross.
Despite both Ross’s lovely performance and some nice poetic and comic writing, both play and production contrive to disappoint.
Beautiful and sensitive.
Dundee Rep Theatre, Dundee from Friday April 11, 2014, until Saturday April 26, 2014. More info: www.dundeereptheatre.co.uk
