So it was at Hull Truck Theatre's Brothel where of the six drama delights on offer my desires moved me to experience the short play What Would Judas Do? by Geyscale Theatre. Jesus is dead and Judas played by Paul Connolly, wants us to understand his dilemmas and answer a few questions ourselves. Exciting fluid drama no voyeurism here as the audience is seduced into participation.
My need for spiritual betrayal not entirely sated I was next directed to The Dressing Room where Abbi Greenland and Helen Goalen of Rash Dash theatre played two star struck girls who moved out of the audience and over the forbidden rope of the room. Star struck they stepped into the sacred space of their diva idol- only to discover betrayal and unleash the freedom of illicit inner desire.
Both the plays I saw were compelling, moving and funny.
It was a great experience to be part of the drama, to move from one set to another in different and unusual parts of the theatre, fluid, exciting, participatory which had the audience thrown together, mixing and talking with each other exploring their own individual awarenesses of the drama as it unfolded.
Alas Theatre Brothel at Hull Truck is only here for a short period- June 14 to 18. Get down whilst you can an extraordinary and very rewarding experience Hull Truck has again brought to Yorkshire the very best in theatre experience.
