Genre: | six short plays | |||||
| Parts: | Male | 1 | Female | 1 | ||
Parts other: | 12 performers | |||||
Notes: | The genesis for these short plays came from moments waiting in hotel foyers. It just struck me how loaded the location was with stories. On one hand there were the excited travellers, the lonely travellers, the people on business and the couples wanting a ritzy night out. Then, on the other hand, were the uptight concierges, the humble cleaners, and the artificially sweetened receptionists. I started writing but soon realised it was such a mammoth topic, with so many options, that it was best to limit this play to bite-sized stories, and mere glimpses into other people's lives. It was great fun writing it though. I loved it. | |||||
Synopsis: | Having mentored a series of monologues (by fledgling writers) most recently, Sainsbury opts for duologues this time: three set in hotel rooms and three set in the foyer, played in the traverse and fluidly blending to flow as one 75-minute piece. He directs them too, which may make him a little blind to how some of the actors could lift their games. Steven Maxwell and Aman Bajaj kick things off as Graeme & Sukdeep, both students, who work in housekeeping. That Graeme is a devious slacker while Sukdeep studies hard at economics doesnt stop Graeme assuming superiority . . . until he gets his come-uppance. A tendency to play the lines more than be the characters, and unconvincing activity in the cleaning department (spraying and polishing the same bit of furniture over and over) hold this scene back from packing the punch that it could. As Arina & Kirsty, Virginia Frankovich plays the tolerance-tested American singing star (Kirsty) to Chanel Turners intensely intrusive Arina: a huge fan and a purveyor of artificial plants who has won an hour with Kirsty through a promotional competition. When Turner becomes Arina rather than shows off her comedic acting skills, shell get more laughs and the well-structured rhythm and flow of the piece will come into its own. Claire Van Beek and Dena Kennedy counterpoint each other superbly as Nancy & Monique, although I have some questions regarding why Monique (real name Sandra) doesnt ask for payment up front and why she comes on so strong to the buttoned-down Nancy before her clients husband arrives. This is Nancys surprise birthday present for a sex-addicted Leon . . . The touching poignancy in Nancys desire to liberate herself is nicely revealed but I wait in vain to discover whats driving Moniques extreme behaviour. This time its the text that needs a tweak. Vicente & Olga is poignant in a different way. Sainsburys producer Roberto Nascimento takes the role of night shift manager Vicente with whom Marina Volkovas Russian mother Olga insists on conversing. This time the work elements and professional behaviour are entirely credible, setting Vicente light years away from Olgas state of loss and alienation. And yet loneliness and emotional disconnection can be a great leveller . . . Best friends since school days (like their mothers before them), now travelling together, Lisa & Tannis from Manchester reached a point that many encounter when out of their comfort zones and/or discovering new dimensions to life. In essence Jessica Joy Woods Lisa is scared of difference while Lee Smith-Gibbons Tannis welcomes it. This compelling little comedy-of-anguish allows us to better understand the whingeing Pom syndrome while putting us on tenterhooks as to how it will end. Or not. There is a change of style for Annie & Joshua, which takes the true trajectory of an entire relationship including a pre-nup: the whole catastrophe and compresses it, with absurdist flair, into 10 minutes. Vulnerable after just breaking up with her boyfriend, front desk Annie is accosted by bellboy Joshua, a fantasist who has long dreamt of winning her love . . . Fighting a cold that makes him adenoidal, Jordan Mooney makes a convincing fist of his seemingly impossible mission. It is Christabel Smith, however, who anchors Annies vacillations from contempt to love and everything in between with such deep-felt sincerity that our willing suspension of disbelief is assured. | |||||

Synopsis: | A deceptively simple comic two-hander, this packs a surprising punch. An ageing woman who lives alone (Jane Waddell) is visited by young Jamie (Jesse Tuke) who lives in her street but doesn't know her. He wants her to sponsor him for the 40 hour Famine; she wants him to eat her shortbread and sponge . . . Sure, she's her own worst enemy but where, we have to ask ourselves, does true charity begin? | |||||
