The Seed by Kate Mulvany
 

Black Swan State Theatre Company presents The Seed by Kate Mulvany
2-17 Nov

An intimate, brash, and poignant family drama, The Seed brims with comedy and tension as three family members navigate finding new life amongst the rubble of old wars.

Rose Maloney is a writer ready to pen her story.

Her father, Danny, is a Vietnam veteran still managing the effects of war.

Danny’s father, Brian, is an IRA soldier.

Today is their collective birthday.

Armed with a dictaphone and a head full of questions, Rose travels with Danny to Brian’s home in Nottingham to discover where and what it is she has truly come from.

The Seed digs deep into the depths of heritage and resilience.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.
