A young girl’s day is shifted entirely off course when she receives a mysterious letter summoning her to a bridge writes Pádraig O’Connor in his review of 'The Hare' now showing at the CAT Club.
This review was sent to me by someone I had recommended the play to. I normally don't engage with social media. I found this "review" to be factually inaccurate and written in a bitter and condescending tone. He claims that it was not "Art". Well what I witnessed was an amazing evocative set, beautiful music, an incredible performance, and all perfectly complementing an excellent and interesting script. I felt emotionally altered in several different ways and I came away wishing I could see it again. It was Art in the highest sense to me. I shall be looking out for these gifted playwrights in the future.
I saw the play on Thursday evening. I certainly was not hanging around for the end. I was engaged and enthralled. I joined in the standing ovation at the conclusion of the performance as a reflection of my appreciation. The chat in the lobby as the audience exited indicated the majority in attendance were both entertained and moved by what they had witnessed.
The reviewer found the play to be work rather than art. All plays, of course, are the work of the playwrite. That does not preclude them from being art. The Hare, in my opinion, is a work of art; and a fine one at that.
