REVIEW:
Chasing Pegasus (a play in ten chords)
Luke Troynar, 3RRR
12 October 2006
Chasing Pegasus (a play
in ten chords) is a performance which celebrates what makes us
different and what ultimately makes us all the same. Divided
into ten monologues, spawing from the ten characters who are
all part of the Serendipity Book Club, each monologue lets us
explore each member of the Book Club's own personal story, and
lays bare all their fears, desires and dreams.
While the character's
stories all reveal a range of very different tales, they all
share one common theme - each character's determination to follow
their dreams and become more than the sum of their parts.
The message of the play
is a pleasant one as well as a clear one - no matter how much
suffering there is in the world, there is always hope.
While the play features
some strong performances from a cast containing many familiar
faces from Australian television, some of the stars seem to shine
a lot brighter than others, leaving the overall performance perhaps
a little uneven.
The script is engaging,
and at times insightful. Overall, if you're in the mood for some
dramatic theatre with interesting characters, inspiring stories
and a feel-good, uplifting message, Chasing Pegasus provides
an ultimately engaging hour of theatre.
