Portrait o a Woman

1996

By Michel Vinaver
A production of a chamber piece by France’s leading exponent of “theatre du quotidian” – an experimental play, dealing sometimes with three different scenes simultaneously

Reviews

“Brilliantly resonant, often paradoxical, non-judgemental..." [The List]

Brilliantly resonant, often paradoxical, non-judgemental, and political, the patriarchal hierarchy is shown as the real ‘monster’, not the accused…this terrific ensemble piece is a wonderful, multi-layered portrayal of female identity
THE LIST August 1996

 

 

“As one of the lawyers says, “ a set of acts..." [The Herald]

As one of the lawyers says, “ a set of acts can be interpreted in any way you like”, and the play, a more psychologically interesting FATAL ATTRACTION, is a fragmented examination of a difficult truth. For all the fluidity of Mulgrew’s direction – somewhere between Bertolt Brecht and Hill Street Blues- this is ultimately a cerebral piece, and none the worse for it
THE HERALD August 1996
