Blackie Blackie Brown

Really great. Make people laugh and change their minds. Stage is raked. White. Covered in boxes. Two across bring us everyone. Megan paying the titular role and Ash all of her victims and tormentors. But they aren't the only cast. The white box is a projection surface that Springs to life and brings us grandmother, news castors and a young boy. 

The technical perfection was amazing but it's Ballina Lui's inventive genius that floored me. This fantastical tale of revenge kicked off by the retelling of a massacre. The visceral unpleasantness delivered gorgeously by MW reliving it through her grandmother's memory. That spirals out of control. Vengeful spirits driving Dr. Black onwards. And feminism at the core of every teachable moment. 

Thank you so much. For this work. I want it bigger and back again as often as possible.
