Islander

Two young actors present a beautiful new musical using little more than their voices, a loop machine and a box on wheels. A whole village of characters (and a radio station) are produced, all convincing and distinct even when in heated debate with each other - and the relationships between those characters are beautifully displayed. Lovely pacing and brilliant songs support this retelling of a Scottish myth, drawing us in to the island world and the stranger who arrives on the shore. I found this incredibly moving, joyous, funny and enjoyable. Skillfully directed, performed and written this is a genuine delight.
