Yen
“Two years ago Ned Bennett, Georgia Lowe and Polly Bennett for ever changed the profile of the Orange Tree with their ferocious realisation of Alistair McDowall’s dystopia Pomona. The same crew have staged Yen. Anna Jordan’s play has zinging, idiomatic dialogue but patchy plotting. This hit team make it unforgettable.”
“In Georgia Lowe’s ingenious, abstracted design, the stage is a huge arena that the two teenage boys run and leap across, thin and agile as spiders – it echoes with the ghosts of the people who’ve left them.”Yen by Anna Jordan
