Prometheus Bound (Io’s Version)

Prometheus Bound (Io’s Version)

★★★☆☆ Frustrating

An almost wilfully uneven recasting of Greek myth, Prometheus Bound (Io’s Version) – from New Celts and Myths Unbound at theSpace on the Mile – fascinates and exasperates in almost equal measure.

Crossing The Void

Crossing The Void

★★★★☆ Spookily real

Crossing The Void, Sally MacAlister’s play for New Celts and koi collective at theSpace on the Mile, hops genres seemingly at will. It ends up as a coherent and sensitive portrayal of very tricky subjects.

The After-Dinner Joke

The After-Dinner Joke

★★★☆☆     Serious funny

Televisual origins and the passing of time have made much of The After-Dinner Joke, from New Celts and Agree to Disagree at theSpace on the Mile, a curiosity rather than an urgent piece of theatre. However, there is still enough to intrigue.

The Murder Club

The Murder Club

★★★☆☆ Psychologically troubling

The Murder Club, from Pear Productions and New Celts at theSpace on the Mile, heads into very deep waters. If the production is not always up to the demands of the material, it makes a creditable fist of it.
