FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Hunger Games: On Stage
This lavish stage adaptation of the Suzanne Collins novel is staged in the purpose built Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre
6 / 10
There are problems. Mia Carragher is certainly up to the considerable physical demands of playing Katniss, and maybe that’s why she got the role - there are no stunt doubles here. But she’s somewhat light on the ol’ charisma and she talks in a breathy Marilyn Monroe-style accent that is odd bordering on distracting. She’s not helped by Conor McPherson’s adaptation, which casts her as both protagonist and narrator. It’s true that there’s a lot to explain. But in such an action-heavy format, having the lead character constantly offering background on what’s going on really undermines the sense of her living in a dangerous moment.
The Hunger Games is such a queasy story – should it really be on the stage?
4 / 10
Intriguingly, McPherson admits in a programme note that he initially conceived of his script as a conversation taking place around a kitchen table with minimal props, leaving it to the audience’s imagination to fill in the gaps. How one wishes that a way could have been found to make this daring idea happen. Instead we are left with a mediocre half-way house, neither theatrically coherent nor, alas, a patch on the far superior films.
