Decent but not life changing
I have mixed feelings about the story, created by Matthew Ackland. On one hand, it is an important subject as the problem is much larger and more common than it seems. On the other, similar stories have been heard of, talked about and presented at Fringe before. A young Moldovan woman is being tricked into believing that she’s leaving for a job as a receptionist in a hotel in Budapest. But after being brutally raped and humiliated, she ends up in a Turkish brothel. Sad, tragic story. Again, technically, well written but I got a feeling something was missing. It lacks some sort of message. I mean, who is this play for, really? However, four actors are doing a fabulous job. I was especially impressed with Daniel Deutsch who played the pimp Milos. He was so believable in his role that I was seriously wondering if he was indeed an actor! Really well done! Design elements were rather poor: sloppy set design, too loud sound effects and unimaginative music. It is obvious that the director Peter Kelley focused his efforts on acting. Rightly so, but it’s a shame the design doesn’t support the efforts of a great cast.
