Meek Review

Review: Meek from Dazed New World Festival (Online)

Amy Hodge directs Scarlett Brookes, Shvorne Marks and Amanda Wright in Penelope Skinner’s elegantly mysterious new play Meek, an unflinching vision, which examines state control and self-control in an unknown theocratic society.

Meek will open at the Traverse Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before travelling to Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester.

In a society where private lives become political and freedom of expression is not an option, Irene finds herself imprisoned. As tales of her incarceration spread overseas and her growing exposure becomes a threat, she is forced to make a brutal decision.

Skinner’s impassioned play for Headlong in association with Birmingham Repertory Theatre, is a searing evocation of fraught times; a haunting vision of ruthless authoritarianism, tense friendships and one woman’s determination not to be broken.

    Shvorne Marks really impressed me with her work on “Endeavour”.

    I wish her a long career.
