«Captivating» – The Public Reviews

[:no]Den første visningen av Fisher King Blues var en stor suksess. Paul Rodgers fra The Public Reviews var tilstede og skrev en anmeldelse av kvelden som også inneholdt små historier av Sarah Rundle og Alys Torrance samt et musikalsk innslag av folkbandet Apple of My Eye.

Her er utdrag av anmeldelsen:

Stene’s performance is captivating. He sings beautifully, chants rhythmically and acts out the many parts convincingly, using only a single wooden chair for a prop. He artfully turns his occasional linguistic stumble into comedic moments that, along with the sometimes insouciant dialogue, help to leaven his dark tale.

The writing of this 85-minute monologue is tight and colourful. One phrase among many that stood out was his description of a widening in a tunnel as an ostrich egg swallowed by a python. At another point in the narrative he wove audience suggestions into the word painting of the Fisher King’s opulent, elephant-filled court.
