ANALYSIS

I’ve been to many unusual theatre productions but never one in a caravan, so I was intrigued.

I expected a Marmite experience – I would either hate or love it – and, luckily, it was the latter.

The setting was very informal, with chairs arranged in a circle outside the caravan where I sat with around five others.

Performer Georgie Coles asked us to play a guessing game to work out each other’s names and professions.

This was a fun ice-breaker as well as a way to highlight our unconscious biases when meeting new people.

We then moved to the caravan, which was kitted out to look like your average UK home, complete with faded sofas, kitchen appliances and random knick-knacks.

The performance mixed theatrical elements with storytelling that was so convincing it felt like Georgie was recounting anecdotes from her own life.

When the lights dimmed we heard recordings of real-life stories beamed out of household appliances such as a microwave, lamp and radio, which lit up to the rhythm of the voice-over.

Other quirky touches, such as projections and miniature scenery inside the cupboards, added to the surreal mood.

The format of the show was accessible and easy to follow, while at the same time challenging the audience to think about what social class means in today’s world.
