THE BRAVE Devised by Massive Company Directed by Sam Scott and Carla Martell at Q, 305 Queen St, Auckland From 17 Apr 2012 to 22 Apr 2012 Reviewed by Janet McAllister, 21 Apr 2012 |
Massive Company productions are usually long, intense embodiments of serious issues, but for their 21st birthday they've lightened up with this well-executed 90-minute pastiche of hopeful life snapshots.
