UNIT 4

Combining gobsmacking acrobatics with colorful characters and a very clever use of the stage, The Reginald’s latest offering, Unit 4, is a great reminder of the fact the bigger doesn’t always mean better.

Working within what was clearly a limited budget, the production manages to be highly entertaining and surprising, leaving the audience thrilled after a fantastic night out.

Weaving together stories of different generations of residents in the same apartment, the simple but touching storylines are made electrifying by the highly skilled acrobatics of the three performers. Despite the restrictions of the small stage, the actors manage to fly through the air and leave the audience gasping.

The few awkward transitions between scenes and slightly predictable slapstick moments are easily forgiven within the context of what is a great play by the very talented physical theatre company Dislocate.
