Invincible

by Torben Betts

The recession is biting hard and so Emily and Oliver have decided to downsize and shift their middle-class London lifestyle to a small town in the north of England. They want to live and to work and to raise their two young children in a friendly community, among what Emily terms ‘real people’, away from the cold anonymityof the city.

So these left-leaning, well-educated people have invited over two of their new neighbours in an attempt to break the ice. Tonight Alan and Dawn are to be offered olives, anchovies and are to be introduced to Karl Marx and abstract art.

As classes and outlooks collide, the scene is set for a meeting which will have consequences as hilarious as they are tragic.

[Doug · Rating 1 out of 5]

Detested this... if you find such topics as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, cat killing, economic upheaval, soldiers killed in war, etc. hilarious, then this may be for you. I found each of the four characters reprehensible and downright boring.

Kočka v oregánu (Divadlo Kalich)

Hořkosladká komedie s šokujícím koncem. První půli se smějete a na konci ukápne slza.
Vynikající výkony Holuba a Hrzánové. Zhlédnuto v Divadle Bolka Polívky v Brně.

Engaging and interesting, although relying quite heavily on a LOT of stereotypes.

[Daisy Leather · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 edging more towards a 4... An interesting play with two couples and a whole load of miscommunications, comments on class and trauma... with a lot of it centered around a cat!
