Lead character (for the first half at least) is Charlie Clee (last seen pursued by a bear) as Daniil Kharms, a writer and founding member of artists collective OBERIU, born during the Russian Revolution and pursued by the KGB, It's fascinating that for the first ten to fifteen minutes there is hardly any dialogue and the audience is treated to several expertly choreographed pieces. The exchange of the letter a particularly wonderful one with pretty impressive slight of hand in action. In the early stages of the play as well in the scene where confronted with the dead body, Clee manages to perform some expert slapstick prowess. A Small Mind, Northampton.
