A Strange Interlude Opening

After Every Breath, Strange Interlude could do no wrong, after missing Food Belvoir's 2012 season is a little off track.

This show however featured my all time favourite new comer Miss Emily Barclay and she was fantastic (as always).  I find her so refreshing and so amazing at everything, being an angst filled young 20 year old to a mother to a bad wife, she had it all in this role.

For Belvoir it had a massive cast but with this it had the most basic set I had seen in a while.  Toby Schmitz was annoying like he is in most things, he is a great actor but just way too cocky in every role regardless of who the character is.

I was happy with this show but I did drift off from time to time, it had a longer than usual running time with a massive interval as the opening night crowd including Washington, Susie Porter and the very scary Robyn Nevin all took forever to get to their seats.

Overall this play with satisfy most theatre needs, good cast, good story, no gun shots or suicides which makes a nice change for Belvoir and Emily Barclay is just wonderful on stage.

I give this a 3 star rating.
