Review of Playing Life, September 2008

Grabs you and holds you tight.

Here's fringe theatre at its best. A new play, an unusual format, intimate and exquisitely suited to the venue - the wonderful Old Joint Stock theatre in the centre of Birmingham.

...the crucial difference about this monologue is that it's also a musical - the performance, itself, is a kind of cabaret, fitting beautifully, therefore, into a cabaret setting in this pub theatre. The show constantly 'double takes' on itself - reaching a climax at the end when Louise says, before singing PLAYING LIFE: 'This is one I wrote myself.' Who wrote it? we wonder - Louise (ie playwright) or Siobhan (actor); our absorption into the play-world is satisfyingly complete.

Siobhan Doyle (played) Louise simply and without fuss or show; she contacts us directly. An early delight is BLUEBERRY HILL - how wonderful to hear the song again and how well she makes it her own. Louise's circumstances are encapsulated as she sings, later: 'I wish I could be like a bird in the sky . . . 'A feeling, I think, we all relate to.
