Lantern Town
Make/Shift Theatre—The Playhouse Studio
Make/Shift Theatre is back with a brand new show about a small town and the relationships within it. The play follows Clip and Es as they explore their feelings, Clip’s parents struggle to keep hold of theirs. The play is non-linear and interchanges the past and present as Es reflects on what’s happened in her life. The relationships between the characters are believable. Kristian Jordan, as Hope, had some spectacular one-liners that reminded me of my own Grandpa. The writing was good but I found the pace to be incredibly slow. While I was interested in the dialogue, My mind started to drift off into la la land. I appreciated the subtle sci-fi mystery that underlies the characters relationship problems. The folk lore of the town is spooky and completely pulled me in. The play ends with a little bit of mystery, but with enough resolution to keep me satisfied. All in all a good story told by a really talented cast.
