Mission Drift @ The Shed, National Theatre

Excellent satire from New York's Team group, and proves to me that the NT is the place to see first rate theatre. With two disappointing rep outings this year, the three NT productions have proved illuminating and all where we have sat on stage right next to the actors (The Architects slightly different maybe).
The Shed is a great temporary theatre, all little too warm for the hottest day of the year so far but appropriately intimate, what will happen to it once the refurb to the Cutteslow is complete who knows but it will be a shame if it is just dismantled. Architecturally it brings a welcome alternative form (and colour) to the otherwise bleak, but extremely vibrant (the pop up container bar in front of the Hayward another exception) South Bank.
Roll on Punchdrunk's Drowned Man is a few weeks time.

9/10
