Static, Tron Theatre, Glasgow

Star Rating: *** Two friends, united by a love of music, are involved in an accident. Martin, the driver, is left unscathed but Chris, the passenger, ends up losing his hearing. The premise is rich in dramatic potential, but the action of Dan Rebellato's play begins several years after this pivotal event, and focuses on the effect of Chris's sudden death on his wife, Sarah, and sister Julia. Julia won't let Martin forget that fateful day, unable to forgive even though (or perhaps because) the two men had remained closely bonded by a shared passion, almost religious in nature - one that was characterised by writing, daydreaming and reminiscing once listening to records together was no longer possible.
