| Description |
This is a play littered with children, all of them so fragile within in its terrible events. It is a play constantly throwing up images of family and parents, often suffering in relationship to their children. It is this area of the play that fostered part of our approach to the production. For a play that is often swamped by an emphasis on its dark, foreboding mood, and on it’s bloodshed and its presence of evil, we were struck by what a ‘human’ story it is, by how recognizable the people and their relationships are, by how much struggle for goodness there is in the characters, even the villains of the title. To what extent is their first criminal act an act of love, a sacrifice she makes for him and in return, him for her? |
