Crush

This is a very well written play that successfully captures the problems that plague some modern relationships on the turning point of middle age. The man of the house struggles to cope with the crushing boredom of domesticity, seeking cheap thrills that threaten what is best for him. His attitude and actions have a knock on effect, driving the wife to desperate actions herself, in attempts to save the deteriorating relationship. The script looks very effectively into the mentality of the different sexes in deteriorating circumstances. It takes into account the nature of modern lifestyles, the characters becoming secluded in the gym or in front of the internet. There is wonderful wit, while the plot and language creates an atmosphere that effectively crushes in on the audience towards the climax of the play. Most notably the performances were superb. The cast of two were fully immersed in their characters and produced a very convincing show.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
