Fragments consists of three short pieces - two new works, and an adaptation of Macbeth. The three are performed by the same 3 actors in repertory, all in the same in the round configuration, with the same bench at the centre of the space.
The scripts could use a bit of dramaturgy but thematically the connections were clear. The performances were uneven and often shouty — and lacking in direction. I would have liked to see a benefit to staging in the round, but it didn’t add anything specifically, indeed it felt as though large swaths of the cavernous performance space went unused (unfortunately as The Space is a gorgeous building).
Overall a strong effort from the young company, but in need of an outside eye both for dramaturgy and direction. There wasn’t a programme on offer or online, so it was not possible to see whether there were any debuts at play.
