I went to the
Half God of Rainfall on Monday, which strikes me as the Kiln's most ambitious production since
Red Velvet. By ambitious, I mean in its demands on the two performers who are required to do a very physical performance at the same time as declaiming in a kind of mythic language which is not easy to carry off. Between the two of them they also need to play an impressive range of roles and maintain the energy of the drama, which mashes up Greek/Nigerian mythos and topical #MeToo and colonialist themes for a sustained period. All very well worth seeing.
