66a Church Road - A Lament, Made of Memories and Kept in Suitcases, by Daniel Kitson

What a wonderful poet of the mundane Daniel Kitson is. This show is a love song to a flat and all the memories that it created. Not a fabulously beautiful flat, it's true, but a flat full of flaws and blemishes.

Top among the blemishes was the landlord, a man whose improvements had left 66a in a pretty ropey state when Kitson found it. Nonetheless, sensing what it had been and could again be, and because of its excellent position, close to every sort of shop and eatery he needed, he fell in love with it.

Some of the 'improvements' had been part of an ambitious plan to turn the property into offices. This had led to multiple power points ' good ' and doors with no upper panels ' very bad. These gaps were meant for glass but with no glass they remain simply holes just right for witches to peer through. When you live on your own you certainly don't want witches spying on you.

But the new tenant falls madly, devotedly in love with his new home. More than that he becomes besotted with the idea of putting the whole building back to its proper order and dignity. So he becomes obsessed with buying it.

His landlord, being the man he is, won't sell, after all it's still going up in value, innit? Equally, he won't ever say that he'll never sell, just maybe one day. And so it goes with Kitson suffering through all the minor battles of promised jobs not done, discomfort, undelivered packages in spite of detailed instructions on how to treat the front door, and many others.

Until it all becomes too much and he leaves with all his memories packed in suitcases. So there he is on stage surrounded by them, battered suitcases wherever you look. Slowly they reveal their secrets. Kitson's rambling but perfectly focused monologue is broken up by his recorded elegiac memories while models of rooms are illuminated in the cases. Or sometimes the cases are opened to reveal larger spaces, like fading snapshots of a loved one.

Is it comedy? A lot of it is very funny indeed. Is it a play?. It certainly has character development and one man's journey through an emotional minefield. Is it even a bit of a tragedy? I did find myself feeling sad, particularly for 66a Church Road itself. Is it stand-up? No, not really, although he did produce the politest put-down of an audience member taking photographs I've ever heard.

No it's a passionate longing for a home you can love and which returns that love by enfolding you in its familiarity and its safety. There is no other atmosphere quite like that woven by Kitson as he stumbles through the pitfalls of modern urban life.

There are two personalities on that stage and the relationship between Daniel Kitson and his longest lasting love, 66a Church Street, is one that it's a privilege and a delight to be allowed to share in.
