Review: Off Kilter by Ramesh Meyyappan (Presented by Theatreworks)

Mental illness has long been the subject of fascination in theatre. From depression to obsession, theatremakers have consistently been attempting to find the best way to sensitively represent mental issues onstage.

Review: Hot Pot Talk – Theatre and the Arts

“I had a conversation recently,” says Adib Kosnan. The thirteen member strong audience shifts around to indicate how much they agree with the statement (most do). “I had a good conversation recently,” Adib continues. This modifier divides the audience. Some decide to stay put at the high chairs, agreeing with the statement, others head to the stools, disagreeing, and the rest move over to the bench, indicating … Continue reading Review: Hot Pot Talk – Theatre and the Arts
