lizzieannerose's review
4.0
The first half of Bulletproof Soul I felt a little lost within the direction of the narrative, but as the dramatic action hardened into a linear story I warmed to the characters; specifically Alice pre and post reveal, I wished I saw more of her perspective about her life instead of others talking over her though. Ultimately however, with the amount of complexities and themes tackles in such a short period, (whilst narratively I wanted more) the nuance carved within the interpersonal relations onstage and diversity of controversial topics is so seldom seen right now and is what I am coming to adore about Farmer's writing. I will be pursuing more Clean Break Theatre.
SIDE NOTE: I find interesting the through line between Compact Failure and Bulletproof Soul this qualm with reductionist semantics such as 'victim' which after reading more prison theatre theory makes sense.
