Culture Club - Pablo & Wilbur - Bright Places

⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This show has energy and life, something we all need!”

This show discussed very serious topics in a funny, light and uplighting way! One of the things that made the stories so unique is the use of projection, however this is not the way you would expect- they used captions and moved the songs played on stage for deaf audience members- this was very unique and inclusive.

One thing that could improve the show is the pace, for me the pace and speed of the show and scenes dragged on for a while. Some may disagree perhaps we’re just easily bored! However, one thing that was not boring was the use of staging, they utilised every inch of it. Although a small space they made it feel massive, transporting us to different places. The writing was great, ideas and thoughts got across well. There was 3 actors in the show; however, interestingly, played one character.

Lighting plays a big part in the show fun and bold colours used. They used big party confetti which matched with lighting and made for a fun and exciting production! This show made for a fun night out and really highlighted the real struggle of MS which hadn’t ever crossed our minds, and after the show was done made me have a whole different view on the disability.
