My overall impression
Interventions for me comprised two I loved and one which was not my thing. “Banana Intervention” by Jeremy Kehoe was witty and lively, with sprightly performances by Sean Welch, Ashley McGee and Will Blagrove arguing over Blagrove’s comic obsession with all things banana. Welch brings a sardonic, bordering on manic neurotic approach to the role of Matt, which is intriguing and funny. McGee is full of energy and multi-talented, witness his work in the second piece, “The End of The Line” by Mona Deutsch Miller. “The End of the Line” is a two character play set in a British train, wherein McGee shares his coach with the versatile Ann Ryerson in an amusing, sometimes suspenseful romp about suicide, murder and who knows what? The third offering in the set, “Clouds Rest” left me cold, despite Andrew Boyle’s energetic performance reminiscing about a dead lover, in a sometimes great, sometimes overwrought portrayal. The play was a bit talky and treaded on ground we’ve seen many times before.
