The ladies reveal their thoughts on the show, exploring various scenes and the positive and shadow aspects of the series.

Ophelia is a young gamer girl who meets a dark and brooding but handsome boy named Kiel while working as a maid at his mansion. The Neon Shadow is available to watch on YouTube here. The Shadow You's story can be charitably be described a romantic horror adventure. Solve puzzles, reveal secrets and let the chills go down your spine in. Some details get lost in the melee, not garnering the attention they deserve (a fleeting reference to Black Lives Matter being one) on the whole, however, Kneehigh has treated us to a gripping advent of theatre that plays on the paranoia of spending so much time with your own company. The Shadow You is a compelling horror adventure game set in two different realities. The Neon Shadow manages to pull a rabbit out of a hat with very little to work with, the end result is a show that plays out like a technophobic nightmare that teases its main character with the promises of sweet human connection. What the show manages to do so well is conjure an impressive level of depth for such a short show without sacrificing its unique sense of style. Although the rate would be far too high for a.
THE SHADOW YOU REVIEW INSTALL
The internet, represented by the form of a Joker -style suited clown, takes on an incredibly insidious presence in his life, at one point lying underneath his bed like a full-on bogeyman. Because Shadow offers you so much flexibility in how you configure your computer and what you install on it, the price doesn’t seem unreasonable.

On the whole, Greaves commits himself with such energy and electricity that he captures a paling image of isolation. Greaves is a sight to behold, his all-white attire and wicked smile at times evoking A Clockwork Orange ’s Alex, but with a spiralling loss of control and willpower.Īs he slides further into a pit of despair, The Boy (as Greaves’ character is credited) is guilty of some perhaps cliche signposts of loneliness – drawing smiley faces on window condensation is more befitting of a child in the back of a car than a man forced to hold up indoors. As the creepy, clockwork soundtrack unwinds – accompanied by a theremin and synth – a heavy atmosphere of dystopian dread comes to fruition. They don’t go too overboard, but what they achieve nonetheless looks spectacular. The film medium gives Kneehigh the chance to experiment with visual tricks and cues that would otherwise be inaccessible. Though he believes he has found someone special, technology starts to consume him more than he could possibly have imagined.īetween the eerily clean setting and the way Tom Jackson Greaves convulses and floats around the room, this is a mind-warping experience. Imprisoned in his own home (with the padlock, curiously, on the inside of his bedroom door), the protagonist takes to the internet to connect with the outside world. A claustrophobic piece of physical theatre, Kneehigh‘s The Neon Shadow captures an incarcerating image of isolation.
