Normality

Pleasance Dome    5 - 31 August @ 16.40    Wordsmith's Theatre Factory

This one man piece performed passionately by Pedro Kruger is challenging, entertaining and ultimately uplifting. The main character, Alex, who has rheumatoid arthritis, finds a joy and an aliveness in his body that he never thought possible and shares it with his audience through song and story. Kruger, alone on stage, also sings all the songs and plays the keyboards and the passion and the humour of Alex’s story flow directly into Kruger’s performance of an excellent score, which both enhances the plot and forms a commentary on it.

The production is simple, yet very effective, and Kruger is a delight of a performer, playing not only Alex but various members of his family, and Lisa, a journalist, with whom he dares to contemplate the possibility of love.

Go see for yourself.
