Authentic

 A couple of months ago, we also went to see The Authenticator at the National Theatre (Dorfman stage).

This had echoes of some of the themes of Arcadia - such as: How can you discover the truth abou the past, and indeed what does that mean?  How are History and the personal intertwined? And what uses do we make of what we discover?

But it was a very different play as well, focusing on black history, and slavery and the legacies of colonialism.  A tight three-hander, with Sylvestre le Touzel, Rakie Ayla and Cherrelle Skeete.

This was very good, and much supported by a clever production and surprising, adaptable set.

So it Goes...

 Yesterday, to Southwark Theatre Borough for Slaughterhouse V. A very clever production, telling the fragmented, time-mangled story with stunning clarity and wit, while capturing the enormity of the Dresden firestorm.

It is only on until 4th July. But there may be tickets left. It wasn't (quite) full yesterday...

So it goes...
