Synopsis (from Rebel Alliance site):

3 actors on 3 treadmills. It’s as simple as that in Standstill.

Thoughts on this Production:

Anders managed to fit a lot of astute observations about the human condition into just sixty minutes. He certainly seemed to get to the ‘nub’ of the issue in that time ... is the key to a happy life giving up on our crazy-making “dreams/concerns” and accepting our reality.

That would have been satisfying enough alone, so it was a bonus to have the ideas presented in such an imaginative and fresh way - on Treadmills! They were not only a powerful (and slightly predictable) metaphor but ensured that the way the mix of stories/ideas were presented was really engaging.

So pleased to have caught this one-night-only encore of this wonderful production.
