theSpaces on the Mile @ The Radisson
6-28 August, 17.20
Funny thing, expectation. Unhyped and tucked away in a lower-profile Festival venue, Bare probably seemed like a rare, undiscovered gem: slick, energetic, well-polished. A Fringe First later and thoughts of bright futures ahead, it feels like a well-executed work of little substance and less originality.
Wearily predictable, overbearing, overlong and painfully overwritten – with cockney idiom spiralling into unbroken streams of metaphor and characters continually explaining, rather than communicating, emotions – the brilliantly choreographed fight scenes become an odd highlight in an otherwise well produced but entirely unrewarding production.
