On St. Patrick’s Day, this Wednesday past – I ventured to Oran Mor for the first time in months. How could I miss an opportunity to see another Gregory Burke play? Wonderful writer.
The play has come to an end in it’s Glasgow run, but if you have the means – check it out in Edinburgh from March 23-27.
Battery Farm carries an Orwellian tone throughout; a sterile, hostile landscape wherein all geriatrics are being fattened for cull. A very simple, yet brilliant concept which played eloquently within Oran Mor’s humble setting. The cast very much on form, and demonstrating possibly one of the best orgasm scenes this theatre goer has seen thus far.
Highly enjoyable, and what further made my day was the cheeky little site specific reference during the curtain call, beautifully concluding; ‘We hope you enjoyed the pies.’ Five stars.
TTFN,
