Daniel Kitson - The Impotent Fury of the Privileged - 08:00PM 12/06/2008
location - Nottingham Playhouse
The world is a saddening mess, of unfathomable complexity and the simplest cruelty and yet, rather than raging or weeping, most of us still manage to eat snacks, do crosswords and occaisonally wash. But what if, what if we heave our compassion from wherever its buried and with courage enough to seem naïve or underinformed or oblivious to futility, we reach for something better. Something more engaged, more humane and less snack based. An angry, frustrated and beautiul new show about wanting the world to change but not doing enough to change it. "He represents and inhabits that place where no-one is cool, sussed, glamorous and sorted, and everyone is struggling, somewhere between absurdity and pathos, to put together a life less barren, and more fulfilled" Joyce Macmillan -The Scotsman
