No-one Is Coming To Save You

- RORY FORD

Pleasance Courtyard (Venue 33) J Pitched somewhere between theatre and performanc­e art, this piece written by Nathan Ellis achieves such transcende­nt levels of boredom that it becomes an almost calmingly meditative experience. A series of vignettes performed by two confidentl­y self-possessed young actors, it is so eliptical that trying to engage with it on any level is like trying to scale a glass wall. At one point the two share a sandwich, ensuring that they, at least, have not completely wasted their time. Nutrition is important.

Until 27 August. Today 12:30pm.
