Till The Stars Come Down - 2024 - 7/10
Sylvia prepares to get married, sisters Hazel and Maggie assist.
Plain spoken girl-talk, barbarous with one-liners and harsh observations.
Auntie Carol arrives, a whirlwind on heels, and the tone sharpens.
Family history is spoken and concealed, sharks in the waters, if you like.
Sylvia is marrying Marek, a Polish immigrant who has succeeded, whereas most of the family are failures.
As ever with weddings, there will be a ceremony, there will be a reception, and there will be alcohol.
Live theatre, and this is a rollercoaster of emotional traumas.
Better if you could be there, yet the rewind might be useful as the dialogue is brittle and staccato.
