Overtone at Pleasance Dome – Edinburgh Fringe review
['Alex Wood']
WhatsOnStage.com
Fringe First award-winner and Wardrobe Ensemble member Tom Brennan returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with Overtone, an intimate, gripping new play produced by the North Wall.
A non-linear two-hander, the production follows a couple grappling with the long-shadowed aftermath of a coercive, abusive relationship with their former choir master, Alan.
Years later, as a couple, they are forced to confront the consequences and blurred boundaries of that shared trauma.
A striking visual motif involving a curtain pulling back from a window mirrors the slow, haunting revelation of truth.
Inverting the traditional choral ideal of unity into something deeply toxic, Overtone builds to a shocking conclusion.
