A few extra stills have been posted in the gallery, thanks to Stephanie for the links! London Theatre and The Stage have also posted reviews for Sweet Nothings, again everything seems to be positive, which is great!
In Luc Bondy’s dazzling production, the opening act is like a frantic polka characterised by spontaneity and lots of drink. Under his masterly direction, the cast immediately come alive, roaming the stage, alert to each other, occasionally histrionic, often thoughtful, sometimes troubled.
The acting is both startling and moving, with the young cast unafraid to collide violently with one another in passion and aggression. At one point the fairly minimalist set is transformed by the characters into a scene of decadence, chaos and wasted oblivion, with broken glass, scattered cake and discarded bed linen littering the room.
I would love to see this.
Too bad I’m no where near London!
It sounds/looks so good from the reviews! And not just because of Natalie–I’d want to see this play anyway…
