Interiors
Joyce Macmillan - The Scotsman
There are much richer dramatic experiences, though, elsewhere in the
programme, and particularly in the two site-specific shows commissioned
for the Festival. Johnny Vegas's remarkable solo show Interiors -
co-scripted with Stewart Lee - is performed in an empty two-bedroomed
semi in Old Trafford, with Vegas giving a superbly-judged performance
as Jeffrey, the owner desperately trying to sell us what was once
his marital home.
The show emerges as a tragic, funny,
and often searing one-hour commentary on the bleak and desperate emotional
emptiness that lies behind Britain's TV makeover culture.
