Details

Seven little lives are going on in one large city. Drawing inspiration from music videos, this first-time collaboration with UK band Lamb is a peepshow with a difference, tantalisingly revealing life in a tower block to give you the taste without the touch of life in a high rise. Voyeurs welcome. Recommended for ages 14+. Contains some strong language. Barclays Stage Partners with the Arts Council of England

Reviews

UK Theatre Web: 20Nov02:
I came across Frantic Assembly by accident last year, when my student son was taken to see them by his school, and was blown away by 'Heavenly'. We particularly came back to see this, since it is so rare to find something that attracts and engages the young audience - which these folk certainly do! And still entertain the 'oldies'(I also took a keen OAP last night who thoroughly enjoyed it too.) From my, admittedly central, seat I thought the set was excellent, and had no problems with sight-lines. OK the script didn't really go anywhere- but isn't that the point? It's a 'peep' at a slice of life, not a story with a beginning, middle and end. I look forward to their next breath of fresh air. Carol
