Loose Change Productions
Imagine Arthur Miller without the language, plot or point; throw in some Freud for good measure, a frankly odd approach and you create 'Couples Counseling', a very boring production. The infuriating style in which the characters seemed incapable of finishing their sentences was probably meant to convey some artsy meaning, but frankly, it was dull, repetitive and felt simply like a plethora of tiny drills were mining my skull. Am I being too harsh? Well, a minority of the lines were funny, and Jack Gilpin's performance as Dr. Bob was entertaining, but then there was that relentless cornucopia of blackouts, each one crushing my mind, imagination and desire to ever see anything remotely American again. Leaving felt heavenly.
Venue 13, 8 - 22 Aug (not 17), 5.45pm (6.45pm), £8.00 (£5.00), fpp188.
