Going Underground - One4Review

Going Underground is a seven hand play that is allegedly set on the London Central line and in essence are seven slightly dysfunctional travellers who each relate their stories in slices. Dottie, a perennial traveller with a thing for the Wizard of Oz, businessman George, Aussie Sebastian with a secret, Faith with social problems and is in therapy, Tina a job seeker with an oppressive mother, Simon, an office worker with a letters to newspaper ethic and Jose, a Latin struggling to learn English. In addition there are three non-speaking roles as passengers who add little or no value. This amateur group perform this uninspiring play to the best of their abilities I’m sure, but I would have to question the staging and direction at times. I’m not sure what message was trying to be delivered, but I’m afraid it did not reach me and I have to question why do such a lacklustre piece in the first place. **
