REVIEW: What If If Only, Royal Court Jerwood Downstairs (2021)
Even without Andy getting up to his paradoxical tricks, quarter-hours have not latterly had a good press, vis "un mauvais quart d'heure". Lasting 17 minutes straight through, What If If Only - the latest piece by Caryl Churchill, is the polar opposite of "un mauvais quart d'heure". It packs a wealth of suggestion in its brief allotted span. And the wonder of it is that it does so with an elating lightness of touch.
