Went to see Station Stories - short plays in Picadilly station, Manchester - audience walks around in a group wearing headphones - characters come into view - but from a distance sometimes above or below or on an opposite platform -
Atmospheric - was a bit like spying on people - really liked one piece about a girl and a photo booth - at tiume you could just see her feet below the curtain and hear her voice (they were all essentially monologues)- There was only one piece - about a security guy that made you look around - and at other people in the station- which was good - the only piece that prompted curiosity about other passengers.
A couple were really just like radio pieces - you did not have to be in station for - would have liked interaction between characters - and more interaction with station or anything in it - or anyone in it - to have made it more location / time specific.
