About
Who stabbed Rennie Fischer? What was Jerry’s role in the homicide? Where is Benny Fogarty? When does Marco Oswaldo hold court at The Gatehouse? And why did Dolly kill June Whitfield’s mutt?
The Gist is the new comedy from Cameron Sievers, writer of Leske’s Method, and marks the writer’s sixteenth production.
To scratch the veneer of this police interview two-hander for women is to be mesmerised by a relentless lack of explanation that will take you into the opaque world of crime, via testimony that is in equal parts irresistible and incomprehensible.
‘If the analogy of Thompson sub-machine gun anatomy applies to the performance of Claire Nicholls and Kellie Tori, it’s difficult to distinguish the trigger from the murderous 6mm round.’
If the zeitgeist of identity politics and political opportunism were pieces of paper that contained unimaginative rules for theatre, The Gist screws them into a ball, jumps up and down on them with kicker-boots, and sets them on fire.
