WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A mythical Irish harbinger of death is stalking the Sullivan family in this modern thriller. Jerry attempts to change his life with a girlfriend and a job, but his precarious mental state is threatened by his mother's warning of "Banshee."
What are other members saying?
RE:A multilayered psychological thriller
This is a play that can be appreciated on many levels: as the story of an Irish-American mother reluctant to let go of her grown son; as a man?s psychological odyssey to regain his sanity; and as a spooky, supernatural thriller. It builds to a dramatic and somewhat enigmatic climax, which I did not find fully satisfying, but let?s not quibble: for a minimalist Fringe production, Banshee is well worth seeing. I have posted an expanded review of this play and of other Fringe and non-Fringe productions on my blog www.aseatontheaisle.blogspot.com.
