Purge@The Arcola. Latvias WWII past catches up with some of its citizens after independence from USSR. Rousing, harsh & intimate stuff 7/10
The Arcola is turning out to be a very special theatrical find. They are prespred to put on some different but high quality productions. Is this the East End's Hampstead or Tricycle?
This play flipped between the war years and the present day. Clever staging allowed this to occur in the blink of an eye. Some scenes were a little long - the second to peniultimate death was a partiucualrly long business and could have been a lot shorter.
Another great Turkish meal off Dalston Kingswayafter the show Pete and Tanya, Carla and Pasha. Tanya and Pasha are Ukranian and the play had exta poinyancy for them.
