‘The Arms’ at the Alma Tavern review – ‘an intriguing and inventive show’

The Arms, an original work by South Korean theatre maker Moon Kim, comes with a compelling hook – one of the two characters has been making herself extra arms in order to provide more help to the struggling people of the world. We start with Domi (Rosalind Jackson Roe) – as she introduces us to her story, commanding the stage with purpose.

Stars. I generally don’t use star ratings, they’re reductive. However I make an exception at the fringe, as there are so many shows and the stars can help with marketing. I still don’t publish anything I’d give two stars or less. That helps nobody.

AI. I don’t use it in any of my work, and I won’t cover productions that use it either.
