Now here is something completely different away from the hustle and bustle of the fringe. Theatre Cryptic's multi-sensory odyssey into the mind of Elizabeth Smart, the author of the slender but devastating By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept, is a trip well worth making. Perhaps because this promenade event requires the audience to make a journey through the hidden spaces of the Gateway theatre, and to open up enough to make a tour into our own emotional hinterlands.
Each ... and Every Inch is really a cunning installation which leads the audience from room to room and in the process deeper and deeper into the pain and passion of Smart's psyche as she struggles with her overwhelming love for her married lover, the poet George Barker. In one room, the faces of Smart and Barker morph into each other; in another Smart's obsessive personality is represented by stacks of wooden books.
Throughout, the sound of the sea and the sound of shattered glass and shattered hearts mingle with Smart's words. "There is," wrote Smart "an imminence in a certain kind of silence". The silence here is of your own heart beating.
