We attended the press night for The Highway Crossing / A Tale of a
Golden Fish, and thoroughly enjoyed it – especially leading up to (and
after) that interval cliffhanger, magnificently acted by a well cast
team of actors, who only had six weeks of rehearsals to learn all
hundreds of lines as well as get all those timings, twitchings and
shivers just… wonderfully… right. The press release reveals more about
the billions of chills and thrills one can expect from the very
beginning, ‘The Highway Crossing by contemporary Estonian playwright
Jaan Tätte comes to the Blue Elephant Theatre this month. Produced as a
hit film in its home country, fellow Estonian Liisa Smith will direct
its UK premiere, believed to be the first Estonian play to be produced
in the UK. What would you do for a billion dollars? Give up the woman
you love? What would you do for four billion dollars? Move in with a man
you have only just met? What if the money came from a fish? Would you be
hooked?
The Highway Crossing follows a young couple as they embark on an evening
they will never forget… A witty and dark piece about human nature and
the choices we are forced to make at a moment’s notice.’ Last, but not
least, the designer is James Perkins and music is by Jaanus Putting. So,
go along and see this recommended production and, at the same time,
discover more about what The Guardian newspaper refers to as being,
‘Camberwell's coolest venue.’
