My second play ‘Mic Drop’ just finished it’s workshop run at the Scene + Heard Festival in Smock Alley. We received a couple of positive reviews.
“It is uncomfortable and disturbing, well-judged in the writing and carried off to perfection by the actor. This is a talented writer and a fine young actor; their future work will be worth watching.”
“The script is finger-licking for any actor, and in the words of Pardo, Tyrell takes it and eats it with his f(ck)ng mouth. It’s perhaps the most intense one-man performance I’ve seen since Jonathan Capdevielle’s role as a serial killer (and his victims) in Gisele Vienne’s production of Dennis Cooper’s Jerk. Tyrell struts and frets his half hour on the stage like his life depends on it (no doubt Pardo believes that it does). Modafinilled out of his box, Pardo is itching for confrontation but has to content himself with feeding off the nervous quiet of the audience.”
“As it stands Mic Drop is a fun and momentarily brutal 30 minutes of performance that is immersive and engaging. Its present format mirrors the story almost too well and, like Perry, there are a few cracks in the overall piece. Mic Drop has a lot of potential to be developed into something greater and this taster demonstrates Tyrrell’s capability and Stack’s writing talent. It shines a satirical spotlight on the modern interpretation of ‘success’ while acknowledging society’s role in its own demise. Perry, like a lot of monsters, is man-made.”
