GOD
OF SOHO
Shakespeare's
Globe
18.09.11
“We
are so shit ...” chorus the cast of Chris Hannan's new play, a less
than impressive endpiece to an otherwise successful Globe season.
They're
being hard on themselves; there's some pointless shouting, but in
the main they do their best with a meandering, unfocused look at
celebrity, the new divine.
I
would particularly single out Will Manning as New God, and Richard
Clews as a “mental” down-and-out.
Some
felicitous poetical lines, and great music from the band [King Porter
Stomp], but not enough to transcend a script that never really
settles on a style or a theme.
