A Lost Opportunity

We went to see Greenland last night - oh dear! The four playwrights involved have growing reputations but this will not, I'm afraid, enhance them. It felt like a 2 hour lecture-cum-demonstration - not really what I believe a £30-a-head theatrical experience should be. Hearts were obviously in the right place but there was next to no narrative thread in the four intertwined "playlets" (a bit harsh, a couple of them did more forward to a degree). Furthermore, the playlets themselves were connected only by the common climate change theme with no other linkage making the whole thing seem something of a rag bag. Sadly this was a massive missed opportunity to engage. The best bit was audience watching. Why are the wierd still so prominent in this issue? It should be mainstream.
