EDINBURGH 2023: Review: 17 MINUTES, Gilded Balloon
by L Gourley - Aug 8, 2023

17 Minutes is a well-crafted and emotional piece, elevated by its attention to detail in both stage design and in the cast’s performance as they bring a devastated community and fraught relationships to life. Rubens’ slow spiral as he copes with the consequences of his choices is paced to perfection, with exceptional performances by the cast as a whole.

Josh Roche directs with expert precision and the pieces simplicity is its greatest strength. This really is storytelling at its finest.
