There’s a definite link between Union and old hand Ridley’s works, but it’s hard to know how much comes from the writing and how much the production. This feels like a more interesting use of the trope, and the script itself feels more sophisticated.ĭirector Wiebke Green’s recent credits include Philip Ridley’s Poltergeist, The Beast Will Rise, and Tarantula. But where Rainer was focused on a singular experience of personal trauma, Union uses Saskia’s meltdown to convey a much bigger issue: the capitalist sterilisation of big cities. Writer Max Wilkinson’s 2021 play Rainer feels very much like the seed for Union: One main character flies through London, clearly having a breakdown and meeting all sorts on her journey. But in a moment of insanity- or clarity- she flees the meeting before signing, changes into her very expensive Lycra gear and decides to run the many miles home through London, meeting a plethora of colourful characters along the way, each with a little lesson to impart. She’s about to sign her biggest development deal which will potentially lead to partnership. That being said, amongst the yelling and huffing, there are a lot of poignant and heartfelt moments in Union. I can’t imagine many passionate capitalists are signing up to see a play about a big-time property developer having a moral crisis. Secondly, if you’ve got a leftist agenda, sermonising to an off-west end theatre audience is likely preaching to the choir. Sure, art isn’t always pleasant, but it is supposed to be affective, and after a while this starts to feel less like theatre and more like a public service announcement. But didactic theatre, which this ends up being, isn’t super fun for a few reasons: Firstly, no-one likes being yelled at for 90 minutes. Given the state liberal politics is currently in, it’s understandable there would be a sense of panicked urgency in trying to get an important message across the time for nuance is over, the time for yelling is now. The mouthfeel is delicate and soothing with a taste that perfectly balances sweet, bitter, and astringent notes, none of which are overpowering.“amongst the yelling and huffing, there are a lot of poignant and heartfelt moments in Union” The brewed tea is highly aromatic with flower, honey and longan notes. The tea itself is lightly oxidized and the leaves are still mostly green in color. True or not it's an entertaining story which reveals why the tea has such a gross name. Villagers wanting to guard the uniqueness of their tea bushes told outsiders that the color and uniqueness of the soil in their village was due to copious amounts of duck shit and began to call the their Dan Cong "duck shit aroma". With all teas the soil type is a key element in the tea's taste. It's called "duck shit aroma" because in the Ping Keng Tou village area the soil has a somewhat yellow brown look to it and is unique to that area. This tea is from 50 to 150 year old tea bushes and trees! Ya Shi Xiang Dan Cong (aka Duck Shit Aroma) is a rare Dan Cong varietal grown in and around Ping Keng Tou village in the Phoenix Mountains outside of Chaozhou in Guangdong Province.
