Get Carter - One4Review
Get Carter from the well respected Red Shift Theatre Company is yet another of plays adapted from major movies this one bas on a70’s epic starring Michael Caine. The first impression on entering the theatre is that this is possibly the most substantial set on the Fringe this year as it becomes what ever it is required to be during the many scene changes within this adaptation by director Johathan Holloway. Jack Carter is a hard man, and he returns north following the death of his brother in a car crash, but is it an accident or was he killed? Carter is determined to find out and his search leads to much aggro with old friends, rivals and potential allies. The small company play all other roles and I did find it a little confusing at times as to who was playing what role at what time, but this is a powerful play, however not a easy one to watch given the necessary violence that is dictated by the play. ***
