Hang / debbie tucker green

4/5
Anonymous from London,

Was blown away by this powerful piece. 3 characters - one meeting- internal setting for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Dialogue is of continual half-sentences, inferred meanings. Building of tension between central character and two staff. Raises questions about how able are government/institutions when responding to personal tragedy. Central character (Baptiste) contantly challenges the two (civil servants?) in various ways, including directing the questions back to the civil servants and exposing the fragility of their private lives. The play questions whether institutions can be sincere or emphathatic and retribution is a response for victims of crime. Toward the very the audience get a slightly clearer but not definitive idea as to what events have taken place prior to meeting. Baptist's emotive performance left a tight knot in my chest and tears in my eyes. Amazing !! Fantastic script - a close study of how many of us experience the limitations of institutions.
