BOILING PONIT
What makes your blood boil?What pushes you over the edge?
.... agitated, at the point of panic, containment on the edge of explosion.... the situation becomes critical...
“The show begins before we’ve even entered the room.”
“Fifties housewives flung from homemaker to homewrecker in a series of increasingly jerky and violent movements.”
- Reviewer Lana Harris
The torches are still blinking, revealing only what their owner wants.

The tagline for this show is ‘What makes your blood boil?’ and the first part of the piece dragsaudience members through several states that can incite rage. Being confronted with something youdon’t understand, being made to feel uncomfortable, an unpredictable environment and unmetexpectations all give rise to agitation that can spill over if the situation goes on long enough.
Boilingpoint brought its audience just up to the edge before reinstating the traditional performance barriers,deftly giving back lost expectations and undoing confusion just before it became too much.Boiling Pointwas an impressive embodiment of the seething edge of emotional explosion
