At The Lowry tonight I was surprised by the play "Waves".
An adaptation by Katie Mitchell of the Virginia Woolf Novel"The Waves". Using a combination of live film and sound effects, the eight strong cast take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions Following a group of friends from 1893 to 1933. Not one for the everyday,this thought provoking piece of theatre took me about ten minutes to settle into, its all there the repressed sexuality, the oppressed feminism, the inner child.
If you like your theatre light and frothy DO NOT GO TO SEE THIS PLAY. however if you enjoy challenging theatre book now.This National Theatre Company are touring with this next stop is Bath taking in Dublin ,The Hague and Luxembourg before a short run on Broadway.
I wish them well.
