Performed in the round, with 3 actors and some simple props, Salt is a new piece of old writing. That is to say that it tells a very old story, but in a uniquely modern way, leveraging physical theatre techniques and inventive sound created both by the actors themselves, and using the props in the space.
The piece as a whole is incredibly tightly rehearsed by writer-director Beau Hopkins; every moment and beat carefully considered, and performed to perfection by Emily Outred, Mylo McDonald, and Bess Roche. The 3 performers are equally matched, and equally engaging over the course of the play.
My only critique is the length; I would have liked to see it tightened into 90 minutes without intermission, rather than full-length with an interval. The energy of the script and production propelled so beautifully, that it felt like the end — indeed at least 6 people in the audience I was in did not come back after the interval, perhaps thinking it had ended.
