The Invisible

Review: The Invisible, Bush Theatre ✭✭✭

The Invisible is a soap opera featuring some beautifully written female characters. It might skirt around the issue of legal aid cuts and the invisibility of some members of modern society, but it does not really have much to say about those matters and certainly does not present any kind of case, urgent or otherwise, for change. Rather, in a grab bag kind of way, it shines a light on issues (the horror of the bedroom tax for some people, self-representation in litigation and judicial responses thereto, domestic violence, grasping landlords, not getting what you bargain for on the Internet, the fading concept of job security), marks them as something which should be of universal concern, and limps on.
