Barcelona – Duke of York’s theatre
I’ve been in two very different cities this week – Barcelona and Rejkjavik. In neither case did I see anything of the town itself.
In Barcelona I saw the inside of an apartment in a deserted building on the eve of the wreckers’ ball. This is a two-hander by Bess Wohl with Lily Collins and Alvaro Morte as two strangers who meet in a bar (in Barcelona but it could be anywhere, even Reykjavik) and spend the night together telling each other about their lives.
Neither life story is very compelling but the two actors, and their director Linette Linton, do their best to convince us that their very different dilemmas – one tragic, the other comic – will matter to us.
