““a sensitive meditation on grief and the inevitably imperfect and incomplete nature of healing””
““the Citz has rolled out its A-team for its reopening production””
““a mighty ensemble and choir””
““In Dominic Hill’s consummate production, Tom Piper’s bare-bones set is dynamically lit by Bruno Poet””
“ Small Acts of Love takes an unusual approach with its narrative. It’s a collection of stories from people who lost loved ones and those who lived and worked in Lockerbie. The actors take on a range of roles from local residents to American families. The stories are heartfelt but the changing of characters makes it difficult to connect with them. This piece shines a light on the effect the disaster still has on the people who experienced it. It looks at small acts of kindness- washing clothes to return to the families of those who lost their lives and collecting and repairing belongings found in luggage. The beautiful staging makes the most of the space and having the band onstage is a lovely touch. Small Acts of Love succeeds in what it sets out to achieve; it humanizes the people who lost their lives in Lockerbie and shows the friendship between the families who lost loved ones.”
