Press buzz...
28 May 2010
With Press Night wrapping up yesterday, the reviews for Far Away are beginning to appear. Bristol Evening Post kicks us off with a glowing 8/10, which suggests that this relevant and thought provoking play 'is further proof that Bristol's Old Vic has the courage and ability to be a national draw'.Referencing fantastic performances from the cast, 'sets (which) are sleek despite the crumbling world' and a 'jarringly confrontational' sound design, the review paints an exciting picture of not just the performance, but the ethos of Bristol Old Vic itself.The haunting march of volunteers in various, flamboyant head-wear has sparked much of the buzz around Far Away - 'Their emergence on the stage, and their mental resignation, is easily the play's most emotive scene.'Indeed, hats off to Simon Godwin, the cast and everybody involved with Far Away.Read Jane Mornement's full review in today's Bristol Evening Post.
