Live theatre review “Our House”; based on the music of madness, the plot focuses on 16 year old Joe Casey and how the choices you make in life will affect you in the long term. His father (Ian Reddington) is a constant theme, punctuating scenes with his lyrical narration, trying to make his son choose the right path. Although the road of temptation may seem to be the best option, eventually in the long term it costs him everything he loves and everyone he loves, even being culpable in the man slaughter of his own mother. Whilst on the right path good Joe does make mistakes and is punished for them, consequently spending time in a young offenders institute, in the long run he wins back the love of his life Sarah, and saves his mother from eviction; the right path typically ends with a positive ending – he takes on the strength of the corrupt business man Mr. pressman and wins, in a court law. The production finishes as it starts, with his mum greeting him outside “our house”, asking “what are you going to do on your special day?” leaving the audience to assume he will see sense and take the right path.

Finally, Alexie uses words such as starve and noose.
