The Review - THEATRE by ANDREW MATHYS

INVISIBLE STORMS
Cock Tavern Theatre

WITH the media spotlight currently shining on government figures and their lifestyles, this contemporary play feels uncannily relevant, and happily at home in the small Cock Tavern Theatre in Kilburn.
Jamie Harper and Dan Muirden have beautifully directed this drama, which broadly concerns climate change. More importantly it focuses on one fictional (but accurately-drawn) government official’s social naivety and self indulgence. 
A simple set demands full attention on the actors – an ensemble who complement each other very well. The staging makes us focus on listening to the excellent script, which is funny, clever and, above all, fresh.
The setting is a leafy Hampstead home and a struggling Norfolk farm. Characters include a “Polish cleaner” and a British farmer. Five well-crafted characters tell the story of one woman’s determination for the dreams of her late father to become a reality.
Through a character twist worthy of M Night Shyalaman, which must be seen to be believed, Sarah-Louise Young determines to make the government official “feel”.
She sure does. And so do we.
The performances are all exceptional, but special mention must be given to Benjamin Peters and Sarah-Louise Young. This play must be seen before its run ends – somebody call the Royal Court quick!
Until May 30
