Inescapable

Concrete Drops Theater—PTE – Colin Jackson Studio

Leaving this show I told someone that it was great, the response to which was “Utterly unsurprising”. If you like the work of Martin Dockery, you know why she said that, and if not, this is a great starting point to learn.

To avoid going too deeply into the story, this is a sparse and fantastic two hander starring Martin and Jonathon Paterson⁣. The dialog recurs upon itself, dense with reference and repetition, and almost meditative patter. The words repeat themselves but the emotions escalate, mannerisms heighten and personal tragedies slowly unfurl.
