Synopsis: | Some things in life defy explanation. Like how the sight of a man in an Elvis suit singing "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" in a Russian accent could reduce a world-weary critic to tears. for the first time in my life, I cried all the way home from the theatre - and I cannot tell you why. On the surface, A Tender Prayer appears to be nothing more than a nicely crafted little play, but beneath the surface there is a strange emotional alchemy. Jen and Travis have travelled the world, from Goa to Gothenburg. Now they are on a Russian train which maybe going to Novosibirsk or may - like their relationship - be going nowhere at all. As their love affair comes to an end, they are making one last train ride to divide up their communal assets. Not, like most couples, the CD collection and the anglepoise lamp, but the landmarks from their travels: the bars of Prague, the Santander ferry crossing, and Denmark They are interrupted by a progression of alternately morose and comical fellow-passengers), who drench the travellers in vodka and Russian melancholy. The play is about loss, and about letting go. By only sketchily hinting at the bleeding and unresolved wounds inJen and Travis's personal histories, Lucy Catherine strikes a far deeper chord than if she had lost herself in a graphic depiction of her characters' suffering. The audience cannot be simple voyeurs of others' misery; it is too intangible for that. Instead, they are gradually brought to hear the chord it strikes within anyone who has suffered loss and has carried on regardless. | |||||
