Sean Gregory
Piece of Work Theatre Company
27 Jul 10 to 01 Aug 10
New Century House
They say, all that remains in an empty house is memories. Jude and Alice didn't expect to find theirs next door.
A forty-five minute play about nostalgia, family, mistakes... and ninety minute cassette tapes.
To understand the past, you have to relive it.
...an intriguing work... a fine piece of writing which only last an hour...
City Life
(Rating: 4/5)
Families in crisis are nothing new in the theatre but there is a freshness to the script by Sean Gregory... an evocative writer... Although the comedy -and even horror elements- are not ignored director Richard Vergette ensures that they fit seamlessly into the evolving story... The acting is of a high standard... so far Reeling is the outstanding play for 2010
What's On Stage
(Rating: 4/5)
Once you put aside the practical question... and embrace the dramatic device, the play takes on a slightly repetitive rhythm... strange and clunky pace. Starting with disjointed, unemotional delivery it soon veers into lots of clichéd shouting and arm waving punctuated by long, drawn out moments of the two girls gazing into space... Recorded sound is effectively used...
