Bash (Adikia)
By Kate Lister | Published on Wednesday 31 August 2011
No news is good news. That’s how it goes, right? Well, my notepad certainly thinks so. The thing is, I’ve come to notice a correlation between good shows and quiet pages: when I can’t nit-pick, I can’t notate; I just want to watch. And ‘Bash’ was a blank-pager. As you wade into the triad of captivating tales, prying into the memories and morals twisted up in four stunningly woven characters, all suspicions are confirmed: this is simply excellent theatre. Beautifully perceptive direction and technical management underline an incredible amount of theatrical talent to create a raw, contemporary reworking of Greek tragedy. Now, what’s that other saying…? Good news is for sharing. Go see.
