Creditors by Neil Smith, Living Record Productions
The Brockley Jack Theatre, March 2015
My soul is leaving me…
A glass door revolves in the entrance to a deserted hotel lobby. Waiting for his wife to return, a young man forges a bond with another guest. But his new companion hides a dark agenda that threatens to expose all three to the true cost of giving your heart wholly to another.
Neil Smith’s new version of Strindberg’s Creditors reveals how much of ourselves we owe to our past, how much of ourselves we are willing to lose, and how suddenly old debts can come back to haunt us. …Then I will give you mine to replace it.
★★★★ 'It's a hell of a good time, well performed, smartly staged and with an utterly nailed down tone. Refreshingly, Creditors isn't afraid to dabble in histrionics and ridiculousness, things eventually spiralling to a conclusion as barmy as it is satisfying. Wonderful stuff.' - London City Nights
