The Night Heron

An interesting watch, but is a bit too broad

A devout young man suffers in a freezing shack, while his geezer-ish roommate plans their escape. It’s a basic plot outline, at which almost everything you’d expect to see at the Fringe is thrown: poetry, religion, comedic touches, earnest drama, violence (hinted at) and full-frontal nudity (explicit). It’s an interesting watch, but is a bit too broad to be fully engaging.

theSpaces @ Surgeon’s Hall, 0845 508 8515, until 28 Aug, 5.55pm, £10 (£8).

It is worth noting that playwright Jez Butterworth (who gets no mention in the review above) has recently won an Olivier award for his hugely successful play "Jerusalem"- this is hardly a piece of new writing from an untested author.
