In this episode, join Natalie and Darren as they blend personal insights with theatre critiques. The pair kick off with a cozy chat about their favourite tea blends and Darren's memorable 50th birthday celebration.
Slave Play
They plunge into a thoughtful review of the controversial yet acclaimed Slave Play at the Noel Coward Theatre. Natalie applauds its five-star performance, ingenious direction, and the compelling use of mirrors, emphasising the absence of an intermission that intensifies the experience. The duo explores the contentious topic of trigger warnings, debating their necessity and the finesse required in their implementation.
Shifters
The discussion shifts to Shifters, admired for its minimalist staging and the evocative lighting by Neil Austin. They touch upon the wellness strategies provided in the show's self-care section and share their take on the intimate atmosphere of the Bush Theatre. However, they express concerns over audience etiquette, frustrated by interruptions like late entries and phone disturbances during the performance. Praising Lynette Linton's direction and the dynamic between actors Heather and Tosin, they dissect the narrative's unique storytelling approach and its open-ended conclusion. Join Natalie and Darren as they weave through the complexities of modern theatre, offering a blend of sharp analysis and personal anecdotes.
