Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons (Walrus Theatre)

By Raphael Highgate-Betts | Published on Saturday 15 August 2015

Imagine a world in which words were limited; so limited that you couldn’t even sing the opening theme tune to your favourite 90s TV sitcom without going over your quota for the day. This is the premise of ‘Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons’, but this is by no means all it is. A show about communication, how we use language and what we can say without it; about a relationship, about beautiful beginnings, and complicated compromises. The audience surround the space from 3 sides, creating an intimate setting for a piece which is heartfelt, gentle and simple: the only thing that joins the 2 actors on stage are microphones. Worth watching for the impeccable choreography alone, the show is beautifully acted, tender and real.

Zoo Southside, until 22 Aug
