Lub You
WRITTEN by Eve Steele and directed by Ed Jones, this is one of the most innovative pieces of theatre seen at the 24:7 Festival.
Inspired by the reaction of Steele's firstborn to the arrival of her second child, this work is told from the child's perspective with the children narrating whilst the adults verbalise in baby-talk.
Interwoven throughout are the nightmarish dreams and daytime thoughts of the child who feels threatened by the new arrival and these are acted out in effective mime.
An excellent cast sees the playwright as her own son Charlie with Amy Spencer winning the laughs as the new-born Bo-Bo.
Tanya Huq and Ted Holden are also good as the sleep-deprived parents.
This is the first play by Eve Steele, a fresh and interesting voice in
theatre. Definitely worth a visit - particularly if you're a parent!
Lub You runs until Saturday, July 25 (no show July 22).
