THEATRE: CIRCLE MIRROR
TRANSFORMATION
(UNTIL 15 FEBRUARY)
This heartwarming and funny play
follows four imperfect strangers of
different ages and from different
walks of life, who join an acting class
run by a free-spirited “earth mother”.
As the acting exercises tap into their
private lives, secrets are spilled,
hearts are broken and battles are
fought. Voted one of the best plays
of 2009 by
Time Out
and
The New
Yorker
, this is a tender take on lost
souls finding themselves.
