The Review - THEATRE by RUBY JOSEPH
Published: 19 June 2008
 
Camden Theatre Review | in the wings

A MOTHER desperately fighting to save her sons’ lives during the Spanish Civil War sets the backdrop for the The Guns of Carrar, Brecht’s reimagining of Synge’s classic, Riders to the Sea.
Set in war-torn Andalusia in 1937, the one act play focuses on a mother’s struggle to prevent her sons from fighting fascists, protecting them from social upheavals, from June 19-21 at The Cochrane Theatre.

A VILLAINOUS ventriloquist, a stage door playboy and a music hall threatened with demolition comes to life through the all singing, all dancing, all-over-60 HotPots.
Promising juggling, comedy acts, magic and possibly drag acts, the Angina Monologues should prove an interesting, and hilarious show.
At Spare Tyre, July 3 and 4.

IBSENESQUE morality takes the reigns in dark psychodrama General Gabler’s Pistols, which seeks to look over the psychology and dark forces behind domestic violence.
At the heart of this post-modernist play, by Desmond Fitzgerald, is the telling introspection into a civilisation built on lies above all things. June 24-28 at Theatro Technis.

PASSIONS stir between a middle class theatre director and a Northern farm labourer in The York Realist at the Bridewell Theatre next week.
Set in the 1960s, when homosexuality was still outlawed, the Tower Theatre company’s latest promises to be a funny and poignant story of love across the great British class divide.
From June 24 - 28. A Q&A with director, cast and crew follow the June 26 performance.
