Bouncers

Product Information

Eric’s existential crisis (aka, perhaps, growing up) is underdeveloped as a character arc and the audience, whilst no doubt recognising the sense in what he says, has nowhere to take it. Another routine, in which the bouncers (door supervisors) discuss the linguistic contortions of contemporary LGBTQ and BAME discourse, strikes a chord but again is left hanging.

This said, the second act develops in structure so that when the final dance routine arrives it feels as though the piece has come satisfyingly full circle. And it is in these closing minutes that the outstanding cast, with no more dramatic delivery to consider, really let themselves go. Herbermann, Charles, ed. (1913). "Porter". Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. Instead of props excellent use is made of sound. For instance the actors make a great job of imitating hair dryers in the salon as the girls get ready for their night out, and throughout the show there is good use of sound in the various scenarios.

Director Miriam Mussa (with extremely able assistance from cast member and movement director Zain Salim) wrings gallons of energy and inventiveness from the four actors, who sing, dance, bump, grind, mince and wrestle their way through two hours plus of showtime.A confetti cannon concealed out of sight on the left of the stage throws out golden coin-sized paper when the disco starts, while red confetti is used when tensions are stirred up in the club. The impression that I got from the audiences respond to the play was very positive and contributed to the performance. The audience did this by laughing at the jokes, which gives the actors more confidence and lifts up the mood in the theatre. The actors were very aware of the audience in both senses since the audience laughed and sighed at certain pieces of the play so the actors definitely aware of the audience. As a member of the audience I emphasised with the characters and felt emotionally involved. I think this effect was made by talking directly to the audience through Eric’s speeches, using many other drama techniques including slow motion and breaking the fourth wall.
