About "Scorched" by Wajdi Mouawad

I am frozen with silent respect and awe. "Scorched" (original French title "Incendies") is a theatre play by Wajdi Mouawad.

For everyone living in London "Scorched" is a must-see hosted in the Old Vic Tunnels beneath Waterloo Station. For me it is one of the most atmospheric, enthralling and moving plays that I have seen in a while.

A perfectly rounded radius of story telling fed with insight, tremor and poetry, performed and staged with rational and emotional accuracy. A non-linear story line with multiple layers of time and content that are perfectly mingled and meshed without losing the thread. Embedded into the damp and impressive vaults beneath Waterloo Station that are literally vibrating and unearthly.

Thank you for two unforgettable hours at the Old Vic. Hats off.
