HOME created by Geoff Sobelle and showing this weekend in Edinburgh’s King’s Theatre is a treasure trove of sublime moments.
How many people can you pack into your fridge? Do the teens in your house go to bed before leaving by the upstairs window to re-join the party?
Having its genesis in Geoff Sobelle’s clowning pedigree, Home’s opening sequence of creating a small home and flipping through the occupants in the bed is mesmeric. I could not work out how the actors changed without being seen. If you can, come back and tell us.
What else? Audience participation, a local band, nudity and a series of flawless performances. Special mention should go to Ching Valdes-Aran, the older woman, and Josh Crouch, that difficult teen: both eminently watchable.
My companion was annoyed by the inclusion of a singer whose words we could not hear – yes, yes, we are getting on, but actually, I don’t think he could be heard. Maybe that’s the point?
