The week in theatre: Hymn; Typical review – first-rate and perfectly balanced

Intensity can dissolve distance. Hopes were always high for Hymn, Lolita Chakrabarti’s new play, not least because it starred Adrian Lester and Danny Sapani. Then Covid snatched it from the stage and its chances seemed sadly diminished. Could a drama about intimacy and trust be convincing when actors have to stand two metres apart? Blanche McIntyre’s tremendous livestreamed production proves that it can. It is the layering – of sound, sight, words, dance, gesture – that gives this two-hander its depth charge. Chakrabarti wanted to explore something she had seen among friends and extended family, but never on stage: a love between men which was neither physical nor romantic, but subtle, complicated, often uncertain. Her plot – which draws on a racist incident involving Lester, to whom she is married – deserves to keep its secrets, but nothing is ruined by saying they hinge on a meeting between two middle-aged men and involve the loyalties and betrayals

Typical: Soho Theatre On Demand

Typical: Soho Theatre On Demand | Review February 25, 2021 Last updated: March 14, 2021 A black man is preparing to head out to paint the town red (this was in 1998, before anyone responds with questions about the legality of leaving one’s house to socialise). As is the case with too many black people’s stories, this is only going to end one way: badly. But this is not, despite the show’s title, a typical case of verbal abuse and a bit of argy-bargy in some nightclub. Some people even think that one hasn’t really lived unless one has been barred from at least one pub in one’s lifetime.
