Girl in Box - One4Review

The company of Emma Bailey, Natasha James, Richard Jackson and Broderick Chow who also wrote and edited the piece devised this piece of part drama, part physical theatre. Alan, Richard Jackson, and Nina, Natasha James are brother and sister living in the North of England, and have a mysterious past. Everything is boring and routine until the introduction of young American Matt, Broderick Chow, who unsettles the relationship and also has issues of his own, strangely similar to the brother and sister and he becomes the catalyst to a whole mess of actions. This in itself is fine, but why is there a clown, Emma Bailey, acting as a narrator to the piece and why is there so much use of this curtained box that is manoeuvred around the stage for reasons that escaped me. This is a strange, yet interesting play and well acted, but I’m afraid it was not really my thing.   **
