SPECIAL - One4Review

A frequent claim levied at Fringe shows is that gratuitous nudity is used to put bums on seats. Anyone expecting this to be maintained in this production given the subject matter would be disappointed, as the actors remain fully clothed throughout. However, the illusion is maintained by the narrative script and the use at times of very realistic prostheses as Anna Brook, Emily and writer-director-actor John Keates as Steve carry out the roles that make up their different relationship. Although as already stated the clothes stay on, the sex factor is at times rather graphically portrayed and as this has a S&M theme, violence also is quite explicitly enacted, so it would not be for anyone of less than liberal outlook. The play is well staged and both actors are totally realistic in their roles. The use of radio mikes made the sound crystal clear so every word and nuance could be heard even by those sitting away from the on stage action. A challenging piece of theatre. ****
