Mnemonic

Saw the play back in 1999 when it opened. Made an impact and stayed with me all this time. Reading it didn't quite have the same effect, but it unlocked a few memories. Surprising how ‘me' it was. Very subtle, reflective, themes of loneliness, recursion, connectedness and disconnectedness. Reminded me of [b:The Lighthouse 14569975 The Lighthouse Alison Moore https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1343229153l/14569975.SY75.jpg 20212710] by Alison Moore, which I read just before it, actually.5 stars for the play on stage, 3.5 stars for the play written down. Didn't quite capture the set, look, and feel. A good chunk of the magic is in the lighting, props, movement, etc. Doesn't quite translate to the written word. I'd like to have seen this with a more detailed description, rather than just a script with brief set directions.So I'm happy with giving it a caveated 4 stars overall. Not sure I'd recommend to someone who hadn't seen it on stage.I'd love to see it again, on stage or video.
