Canstage - Needles and Opium

A favourite playwright produced a sold out house. The narrative was mesmerizingly delivered, punctuated by some beautiful trumpet playing.  

A very light story, which seemed to be created largely to enable the viewer to be entertained by the frequently rotating cube, with props popping up as necessary. The cube, or stage, transformed from a recording studio to a hotel room to various streetscapes as needed. The latter was enhanced by creative use of video. Very clever staging.

I really enjoyed watching the metamorphosis of the stage and for me, this was the star of the show.
