Harpy - Underbelly Cowgate

Sue Pollard stars in this one woman show about a hoarder, a woman with a past caught up in a round of mental instability, social care and complaints. Unfortunately, the delivery of the piece lacks variation and depth - the words are worn on the outside rather than coming from within the character and the sound effects bear no spatial relationship to the piece. As a consequence, it is impossible to  believe in either the outside world which imposes on the main character or in the extra characters that she tries to project. Weak in text and direction this piece just didn't hang together.
