The show we saw was Totem. What can we say? Splendid acrobatics; a slow trapeze "dance" stood out as particularly beautiful and mesmerising though there were many more high octane performances.

Grief, The National Theatre (Cottesloe)
Present: Helen, Nic, Kate

This was the Mike Leigh and, of course, aptly named: there was humour to the production but over all this was depressing but engaging. A war widow in the 50s, is incapable both of getting over her loss and of expressing her emotions. Her brother approaches retirement sadly; they have a ritual of evening drinks and sing little songs together. Her daughter approaches her 16th birthday; the generation gap between mother and daughter grows and threatens to engulf them. The end is shocking.
