'Loud, disorientating and absurd'. Lovely.

Saturday night rolled round, and so naturally i decided to take an unsuspecting accomplice to see some very experimental and impenetrable theatre - luckily for us, Shunt had managed to once again pull it out of the bag with their new piece Money. Loosely based on Emile Zola's L'argent, Shunt delve into and expand on the story which is fast becoming old as time; the collapse of the banking system and the human condition of unhinged greed and mindless self gratification. Thankfully, this doesn't result in a sore head as they dispense with most of the narrative and instead lead the audience into the pictured four storey scafolded creation, where the action takes place around, above and below the audience in varying states of darkness.

It's funny and dark and exciting and surprising - everything that theatre should be really. The audience is very much part of the performance, implicated from the outset and so complicit in the inevitable crash. Money is thought provoking without being preachy - and most importantly it's fun and at times quite thrilling. A real theatrical experience. Ball fight and champagne added bonuses, if you needed more convincing.
