Bill Muganda's Reviews > The Performance

This little quiet book slowly engulfed me with each chapter, the poignant revelation of how we perform our lives till the lines between reality and our inner thoughts blur. This is the case for the three perspectives we follow as they watch a Samuel Beckett play. Margot, Ivy, and Summer ( Early Seventies, Early Forties, and Early twenties respectively) as they comfortably or uncomfortably follow the play let us into their lives tinged with all the fears, hopes and everything in between. One reflects on their career path and motherhood whilst another on the overwhelming state of the world as a raging fire continues to smog the air outside the theatre but they are forced to sit and ponder their lives and values which mirror the play they consume.

This was such an innovative narrative with a depth like no other and one I won't forget any time soon.
