We need such risk-taking theatre back. This outstanding production of Exit the King might just remind us how to get it.
Terry Johnson’s two-hander might seem a low-key hommage but his script’s brilliant. It’s a re-affirmation of Campbell’s comic epic theatre, and inspires you to look out for what his daughter Daisy might be bringing to us at the Brighton Festival.
Those receptive to those energies unleashed in the Ionesco, or more fitfully in Saint George and the Dragon will readily see Mullarkey’s almost unique position. What he writes next might define him.
A play about amateurs no amateur company should even dare contemplate. There’s genius in the timing of all this. Outstanding.
