A Slow Air

Inis Nua Theatre Company, a local troupe that presents plays by the top contemporary playwrights from the British Isles, returns for a new season of risky, audacious theater with talented director Tom Reing’s production of A Slow Air, a fragile, eloquent two-character work about a brother and sister who haven’t spoken in 14 years. The monologue structure reinforces our sense of the siblings’ estrangement, and as the two characters describe their ordinary (but surprisingly engrossing) lives, there appears to be little hope for a family reunion. One of the most deceptively commanding playwrights working today, David Harrower quietly shows us the powerful and numerous forces that divide not only families, but nations as well. -J. Cooper Robb
