Reviews
Hazel
This is an amazing and adventurous play brilliantly directed and realised by Peter Stevens with the set designed by Mark Bullock. The play takes place on three sides and on multi levelled platforms, with the audience encouraged to encroach on the floor area to be a part of the set. I can't remember all the names of the cast- gulp sorry - but there are utterly believable and mesmerising.

You know that you are in for an uncomfortable ride with the subject matter anyway and the choice of promenade performance just sucks you in and makes it all the more powerful. The set is fantastically supported by excellent lighting choices and use of monitors pushes the point of dissociation that ( I assume) the fix gives you. It s unrelenting,graphic,the humour in bad taste but for all that makes you laugh. Trainspotting will not be for everyone and granted you may prefer to sit through your theatre but I urge you in the spirit of SLT 's pride in pushing the envelope occasionally-get up from your comfort cushion and suffer a little for this art.
