TESTOSTERONE - RHUM AND CLAY, KIT REDSTONE, ZEE ZEE THEATRE

4/10/2018

We rarely question why we are the way we are.  Our actions, beliefs, mannerisms.  But upon transitioning, Kit Redstone finds himself observing these very things in his fellow male counterparts and shares these thoughts in his presentation of Testosterone. 

Although some interesting questions are raised there is no time to linger as this playful production seems more focused on challenging you to embrace and laugh at the often absurd, yet all too real, aspects of masculinity.  At times I felt it was a bit too silly however overall it helped give a refreshing perspective of the expectations men are held to and with the countering pressures of the #metoo movement it can’t be an easy place to be. 

So even if it’s a little too comical this musical and physical performance provides an opportunity for us all to laugh a little, in a good natured way and, if you dig a bit, perhaps also question what we can do to change these long standing societal constructs we insist on putting ourselves in.  


Testosterone is a coproduction by Rhum and Clay Theatre Company, Kit Redstone and Zee Zee Theatre and will be playing at the York Theatre 2 - 13 October 2018. Tickets at: https://thecultch.com/events/testosterone/

    ABOUT THEATRE ADDICTS

    Founded by Danielle Benzon, a self-professed theatre addict. 

    Live performance is essential to create human connection in our disconnected world. Theatre is not a dying art form. It is more relevant, more necessary, now than ever before.

    ​
    This is a place for audience members to share thoughts and opinions, to discuss with critical thought what they liked (and didn't) and why.

    At Theatre Addicts we own our subjective viewpoints and we welcome respectful conversation. This is not a place for professional critics, it is a platform for the diverse voices of the audience community to be heard. It is a place for ideas to be exchanged. It is a place to reflect upon different perspectives and opinions that lead to a deeper understanding of art, of others, and of ourselves.

    We believe that an empowered, engaged audience allows for a responsive arts community.
