Autor Chris Thorpe, Rachel Chavkin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iul 2014
Winner of a Scotsman Fringe First Award 2014If you pinned me against a wall and put a gun to my head, I'd probably admit to being a liberal. Actually if you pinned me against a wall and put a gun to my head,I'd probably admit to being whatever you wanted me to be. And of course, putting a gun to my head is exactly what I'd expect from someone likeyou. Confirmation is a show about the gulf between beliefs that we can't talk across.About our knee-jerk dismissal of the opposing viewpoint. About the echo chamberof agreement and validation we live in. About the way we choose only to see theevidence that proves we're right.A new solo show from a multi Fringe First winning team: written and performed by Chris Thorpe (Unlimited Theatre, Third Angel), developed with and directed by Rachel Chavkin (The TEAM).

Recenzii

Thorpe and director Rachel Chavkin energetically take a liberal Fringe audience to the edge of the abyss of belief and hang them over the side in a conversation for our times
Amid so much theatre that simply confirms its audience's liberal sympathies, Confirmation is that rare and valuable thing: a piece that makes you alert to your own selective use of evidence - Thorpe challenges himself and us to be aware of our own bias and retain our passion and certainty
This] show is a sly, slippery thing, tickling at the mind for long after - The real brilliance lies in the show's delicate plaiting of concept and form, theatrically grappling with its ideas at every level.
Thorpe has created a fiercely intelligent and relentlessly curious piece that strives for he truth, even as it acts as a warning to the easily led.
