Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-15 00:00:00 Edgar Garcia Saw this performed in the Lyric Theatre last year and it is better in performance than simply read, which is only right, but having read it I now see why it was not as engaging as it might be. It is a play that deals with pertinent themes at present, identity nationalism, hypocrisy the control of information and manipulation of truth, yet it does so in a relatively garbled way with little depth. It is strange in a story about two fascinating characters who invented backstories about themselves that this play fails to turn them into fleshed out characters with who the audience can empathise at all. So in the end I didn't care what happened to them, and just shrugged at the fact that Bracken's story wasn't brought to a conclusion. In many ways that is symptomatic of the play. Disappointing because these two are fascinatingly complementary and the themes are powerfully contemporary - they deserve better... indeed I would argue that Joyce Bracken and De Valera's stories would make a fascinating dramatic triptych.
