» Review: Nobody’s Home
A compelling drama drawing on The Odyssey to portray the deep effects of post war trauma continued to display the Three And Ten’s commitment to programming quality theatre. The distant returning soldier and his partner struggled to come to terms with their situation through a series of scenes in which they used both words and physicality to display their anguish. An uncomfortably real and often moving play, it saw the two performers give a compelling performance that was captivating from the clever opening scene through to the final moment. Making brilliant use of the tiny space and utilising only a few well conceived props, they brought the story vividly to life, and whereas some theatre might be hampered by the confined circumstances of this excellent theatre space, this team used it to their best advantage. Claustrophobic, intense and disturbing stuff but delivered with wit and class – a polished performance.
