My Review

Today I was lucky enough to witness a year 10 Brit School production of Davey Anderson's play Blackout

The play was performed in a thrust configuration, which allowed the performance to engage the whole audience; there is no props or set so the use of physical theatre helped to create the scene. The group performed as an ensemble and each and everyone one of the actors go in and out of multiple characters and narrate the story through the mind and consciousness of the main character "James". The play also breaks Aristotle's three unities that a play should have one main action that it follows with no or few subplots, a play should cover a single physical space and should not attempt to compress geography, nor should the stage represent more than one place and the action in a play should take place over no more than 24 hours.
