Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists
Warnings: Contains violence, not suitable for children or the easily offended
All performances are in Portuguese, with English surtitles.
Catarina refuses to kill her first fascist. This disrupts a family ceremony and questions where, in 2028, there is space for democracy and compassion in a turbulent world.
Tiago Rodrigues directs the UK premiere of his own acclaimed play.
Not available. The monkey found limited professional opinions which agreed the show raised questions but found it wordy and over-long.
There is praise for set and staging, but a feeling that the final speech does not cut through and justify the running time without an interval.
2 or 3 stars seems to be the verdict.
The monkey advises checking performance times on your tickets and that performances are happening as scheduled, before travelling.
