Recenzii

Takes us on a journey with a young offender door-to-door selling on a day release scheme. The hopping geography of the piece, in which the actor's feet seem to remember the dusty London streets, is a joy to watch. Leaping from place to place the boy's memories flow free, unlocking a true sense of self and eventually breaking the walls that bind him.
Feels like the intersection of Beckett and Albee . . . A powerful and delicately calibrated performance
