Synopsis: Bloody kids are all over the show in Company Of Angels's latest gymnastically inclined attempt to give voice to da yoof. To do this, writerldirector John Rettalack and Co-director/choreographer Andy Howitt throw into the mix a quintet of highly-strung teens. Just as one wise guy moves up a notch from petty thieving to biting the hand that feeds him, another sees the world through the internet, but is unable to connect. A once model student falls in with a bad crowd, a girl swaps natural highs for bottled bliss, and a boy too sensitive for fisticuffs fights back another way. In their quest to get out of it, all crash, and to some extent get burnt. Eventually, though, they learn the error of their ways. Told through a series of monologues, each punctuated by some highly-charged chorus work and trademark Howitt dance moves, Risk is a well-fashioned piece of theatre. Neil Cooper, The Herald | ||||
