Review of The Arbor (2010) by Justin M — 04 Jun 2011
Sort of documentary with lip-syncing actors over real voices, scenes played out on a council estate and news clips about the life and times of Andrea Dunbar, a "genius from the slums" and author of THE ARBOR and RITA,SUE & BOB TOO. She wrote her first play, which was performed at the Royal Court Theatre London, when she was just 15, and she died at 29 in the local pub, leaving three kids from three diferent dads to grow up as best they can (and in one case, not very well at all).
Absolutely rivetting, especially if you don't know the story. Very recommended.
