4DFOF 6OTFFO $0.1"/: % "5 1"$*/0˜4 Company D’s Scene Unseen, set in Pacino’s on Suffolk Street, is a collection of five ten minutes pieces of theatre with a five minute interval between each; those five minutes provides the audience with time to order more food or drinks. The total running time is just about under an hour and a half. The area given for both the audience and the actors is hardly roomy, but the more intimate setting arguably makes the evening all the more special. It is aimed at both regular and non-theatre goers alike, and the subject matter and delivery here is indeed accessible to most. It’s fair to say that they have achieved their goal of appealing to both theatre fans and novices; there are facets that will draw in either crowd. From the sharp acting and new writing for those interested in the theatre to the delicious food and wine for those that are there for more earthly concerns. Using an ensemble cast of four actors, Company D’s five plays squeeze in fast-paced and clever dialogue with such brevity it almost warrants a rewind button. The first four scenes all incorporate their surrounding appropriately, they are ostensibly set in a cafĂŠ/bar/restaurant, so Pacino’s natural atmosphere is lent to these pieces. In contrast, the final piece, a loud, brash piece, deliberately over-wrought for comic effect, stands on its own regardless of setting. We get scenes very obviously placed in New York, then Dublin, then a couple of universal pieces that could be set anywhere. These five pieces are all newly written, and are changed periodically, giving it echoes of Painted Filly’s 100 Minutes, another great store of new writing. The night starts at ten in the evening and tickets are ten euro. For an additional twenty, you can get two tapas and two glasses of wine and beer. Expect to make a night of it.
