They don’t know why exactly. In fact, they don’t even know what they want or don’t want but there’s enough lust, frustration, irritation to find out what’s shitty about the fact that they’ll become someone like you. Read more …
A new performance by Alexander Devriendt, director, and the creative team behind the multi-award winning Once and For All We’re Gonna Tell You Who We Are So Shut up and Listen and Internal.
Contains adult themes.
It is all a bit, well, childish.
This may be less comfortable viewing than Once and for All, but it si also less interesting theatre.
For all the risks it takes...I think it works.
This production's strength lies in its ability to show teenagers in a non-patronising but honest way.
You probably won't feel guilty as charged, but you might well feel discomfited by the frankness and exuberance of an extraordinary show.
The final (filmed) moments are both hopeful and defiant, but they come too late in a work that is likely to divide its audience--and not just by age.
...all performed with such painful honesty by the exceptional young cast that it's hard not to wince.
This is not playing games with the audience's notions of immedicacy and (a current theatrical buzzword) "liveness", at least not games that we can win. It is mocking us.
