READ THE FULL REVIEW:
Hôtel de l'Avenir
"The entire city is like a blank piece of paper." Movement, music, art and
storytelling combine in the dreamlike world of 'Hôtel de l'Avenir.' Macnab
plays all six of the quirky main characters with great panache; she's a
'cant-take-your-eyes-off her' kind of actress. Singer and accordionist,
Josephine of Café Josephine is particularly charming. There doesn't seem to be
much of a plot, as such but this is part of the appeal, and the shadow-puppetry
is mesmerising, with biscuits, boats, balloons, dogs and ghosts soaring above
the breathtaking Paris skyline. Maybe I'm just an old romantic, but I was swept
off my feet by the beauty and very French kind of nostalgia of this wonderful
production.
Venue 13, 5 – 20 Aug (Not 8, 15, 16), 2.45pm (3.45pm), £5.00 – £8.00, fpp269.
