The Bridge by Annie George (Edinburgh)
Just Festival as part of
Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2014
@St. John's Church
Pleasantly surprised
I’ve been wondering lately what makes a good solo piece? It is a very difficult for one performer to keep audience engaged the whole show. Annie George, in a smart direction of Sarah McDonald, gently yet confidently tells the story of her Keralan family keeping the audience attention throughout the show. Annie’s text is a piece of fine, rich and mature writing in which she explores concepts of identity, destiny, courage and family relationships, to name just a few. Annie’s performance is powerful, emotional and moving. Watching The Bridge only reassured me that some of the best solo pieces are the ones written by the performer. They are personal, honest and a real delight to watch. The Bridge is all that.
