18 March 2013. Written on Skin at the ROH.



Another absolutely brilliant ROH contemporary production. The bleak story of the controlling protector, his wife and the boy angel, whose heart she is forced to consume before she makes her way up the stairs for her suicide was completely engaging. The singing was majestic and the music by  Benjamin completely arresting. It would be great to read the text which seemed to be addressing several levels from the literal recounting of a legend through to several metaphorical readings.
