The set is most striking from the moment one enters the theatre space. It consists of a convincingly constructed cave, complete with water lapping up at one end. The three actors make their way through this onto the set and so unfolds their overnight rite of passage around a camp fire with a plentiful supply of perception-changers.
The philosophical side of the dialogue struck me as a bit tedious and what I got out of it was a convincing portrayal of adolescents' belief in their ability to engage in adventure - well away from the adult gaze.
The performance lasts a little over an hour, at which point the three depart from whence they came with no customary reappearance for a bow, leaving the audience to shuffle out slightly bemused.
