Here is another show to file under "Aping Katie Mitchell's recent techniques, but my doesn't Katie do them so much better and for reasons of artistic merit and not due to a lack of imagination (oh, and it's about suicide and contemporary issues)?" You'll find it alongside Beachy Head at the Pleasance Dome. There isn't that much to say about this performance as it really was quite insubstantial. And by that I don't mean that it's subtle and understated, I mean it does not have much to say.
Essentially it links the suicides after the Wall Street Crash of 1929 to the rise in suicides since the recession. Indulging in faux poeticism and crudely broken narratives, it tells a few stories, but not very well.
While there were some elements of the script that were redeemable, it was loose and flabby, needed significant editing and revision. The performances were generally weak - unfocused and inexact. Some of the design ideas were good enough - the video work was vaguely interesting, but not directly linked enough to the action or plot to take on greater significance. The Mitchell-style live video recording and spraying water on Perspex were unimaginative, clunky and didn't really belong. Did I sense that they failed to really believe in it? Perhaps I was imagining things (you have to do something to stay awake).
I also felt that they made the economic crisis of today and of '29 a middle class issue solely. Now, while going from being able to buy a five bed detached Georgian house to sleeping on a friend's couch or going from working in banking to holding down a 10-hour-a-day job in a pub might be a shock to the system and an extreme personal crisis, the real tragedy of recession is that those already struggling to make ends meet have to struggle that little bit harder. I found their focus on people who can take two gaps years and used to feel like masters of the universe without having a critical eye on them, was a mistake.
They are all recent graduates from Central School of Speech and Drama and one might hope that in the months and years to come they will develop a rigour that seems to have not been forthcoming in their training. Let us hope that this is a process of finding their way to a more confident and exact artistry.
