Little
Bee
Little Bee is a dual
narrative theatre piece that follows the escape of two refugee girls for a
better life.
Presented by the
Baalbeck Performing Arts, the production is based on the book The other
handand is directed by Ursula Foster.
Little Bee, the main protagonist, wishes
that she was a British pound coin instead of a Nigerian girl because coins
travel freely and safely unlike her. Sinead Lewis, who plays the main
character, put on a convincing performance with a realistic British accent
despite stumbling on her lines a few times.
Her relationship with her sister
(‘Kindness’), played by Tabitha de Jager, brings a quirky and light hearted
humour to the play through Little Bee’s witty observations of the way her
sister would react to certain situations.
The theatre piece benefits from the
intimate space of the Chapel, with a two person cast and effective lighting,
such as shadows, that add to the story. -Aimee Delagey
