REVIEW:
Chasing Pegasus (a play in ten chords)
Luke Troynar, 3RRR
12 October 2006
Chasing Pegasus (a play in ten chords) is a performance
which celebrates what makes us different and what ultimately
makes us all the same. Divided into ten monologues, spawing from
the ten characters who are all part of the Serendipity Book Club,
each monologue lets us explore each member of the Book Club's
own personal story, and lays bare all their fears, desires and
dreams.
While the character's stories all reveal a range of very different
tales, they all share one common theme - each character's determination
to follow their dreams and become more than the sum of their
parts.
The message of the play is a pleasant one as well as a clear
one - no matter how much suffering there is in the world, there
is always hope.
While the play features some strong performances from a cast
containing many familiar faces from Australian television, some
of the stars seem to shine a lot brighter than others, leaving
the overall performance perhaps a little uneven.
The script is engaging, and at times insightful. Overall,
if you're in the mood for some dramatic theatre with interesting
characters, inspiring stories and a feel-good, uplifting message,
Chasing Pegasus provides an ultimately engaging hour of
theatre.
