Review : Translunar Paradise

Name of company Theatre Ad Infinitum
Name of show Translunar Paradise
Genre theatre
Venue Pleasance Dome
Date 20 August
(CM)
A love story beginning in old age, this piece makes clever use of ageing masks and physical theatre to tell its story.  The loss of his wife sees the old man cope sadly with life all alone and specific items conjure up memories that transport the couple back to their youth.  The ghost of his wife helps him come to terms with his loss.
Soothing, melodic hums and whistles accompany the accordion adding great atmosphere.  Very fitting.
Suitable/ready for rural touring yes - three in the cast
Would you book them yes
Would it be worth pursuing this company to consider work in the future yes

Any other comments  - Made me cry!
