Tell
by Tim Digby-Bell
Hen & Chickens Theatre
In a cramped attic, full of accumulated junk and forgotten treasures, two Tellers weave together fragmented moments from the clutter, their own stories peeking through here and there.
Tim's play is a very personal exploration, a pair of monologues pushing against each other and being constantly interupted.
As the Tellers create each character we experience snatches of their lives, communicated by objects, light, sound and smell. In the relatively small space of the Hen & Chickens Theatre, Tell wrapped the audience in those experiences, using comparatively few lighting states quite effectively.
