Review Number 2 :)
My thoughts on seeing the play at The Lord Stanley (Solo Festival)
"Bobby Bulloch brings to life a taut, clever and meaningful one-act play written by Elizabeth R. Davidson, in a performance that shows the vulnerabilities of what it really means to be ‘a man’.
From the opening moments Bobby’s performance is so strong, charismatic and layered, you can’t take your eyes off him. We invest so quickly in his character’s world, that of him and his partner, his place in the world and where, if anywhere, they’re going. He talks of the difficult relationship with his own father, then the news that he is to be a Dad himself, he revels in the potential pain and heartache, the terror and anxiety that sweeps over him during the pregnancy.
Obviously a lot of these issues have been covered in a lot of contemporary fiction, but there is something so accessible, immediate and real about this performance, that makes you feel it is a conversation, a confession about a man’s deepest inner turmoil.
The play is a rollercoaster of emotional states, funny, sad, shocking and elating. Ultimately it is a positive piece that validates the controversial idea that perhaps men are subject to sexism as much as women. ***** - 5 STARS"
