Atlantis

Of course it has a quirky and adorable set. It’s L Katz! Black glass floor, pastel walls giant round bed and window not sure what the crucifix is about can’t wait!

The show picks up where we last saw Lally. Onstage talking to NY psychics and drops us into the reason the show was so late. It opens up a whole world of emotions in me I’m 35. I don’t have kids and I want them. I’ve got Gav at least and thank God I lack her onstage naivety. 
She wonders after the break up spinning back to psychics and pseudo spiritualism in New York, running to Kansas to freeze eggs and holding the idea of a perfect Miami childhood deep beneath the waves submerged like Atlantis. 

Actors are superb. I can remember first seeing ‘Electra’ as Portia in Julia Caesar and loving her outside of all reason in an otherwise lacklustre show. In Atlantis her brilliance really shines through, each character distinct and clearly drawn.

The Father

Running late doesn’t set you up for a great experience. I arrived red and puffing with my left calf threaten to cramp up, my seat was right in the back corner as close to the ushers as could be but luckily it’s previews so won’t be starting in time and Wharf 1 doesn’t have a bad seat in the house!
