Earthfall: At Swim Two Boys - 28.03.12

I rolled up at the Drill Hall knowing a little about At Swim Two Boys, having heard SO many good things about it from the Drill Hall's director, Simon, and from seeing the crew set up the auditorium for the past couple of days, but still I was curious.

As the show started I must admit to having a few preconceptions about dance and physical theatre - my knowledge of both is very limited and ignorant!

However, as it progressed I began to form my own opinions about what I thought was happening - though there was no glaringly obvious storyline I still found myself in some way able to make a narrative of what I saw, and thoroughly enjoyed myself in the process.

The dancers themselves were amazing - I was breathless just watching all the moves they were pulling off! 

So as not to spoil the show for those of you who haven't seen it yet, I won't tell you the ending. But I will mention that by then my imagination was in full flow and as the lights went down I was on the edge of my seat with my fingers in my ears! 

If you see it, you will love it.
