Theatre review: Somersaults at Finsborough Theatre, London
13th Jan 2013 11:58am | By Editor A Eureka moment whilst playing a computer game has brought 30-something Scottish-born James unexpected wealth, a Hampstead home and a desirable wife.
But, without warning, things start to slip and – beginning with his inability to remember the Scots Gaelic word for “somersault” – his comfortable life disintegrates.
The main focus of Iain Finlay Macleod’s 70 minute play (initially staged by the National Theatre of Scotland) is the importance of language - as a means of communication, and of preserving cultural and individual identity. It doesn’t always work.
The characters of both his wife and of the old university friend, who suddenly reappears are distinctly underwritten, and Richard Teverson’s detached liquidator (who deigns to leave him only “the necessities of life”) is a disconcertingly unearthly presence.
