Today&#8217;s show is Mites, running\nat the Tristan Bates Theatre at The Actors Centre<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I want my blood pressure to skyrocket, I imagine what it&#8217;s like when someone doesn&#8217;t believe me. You know that uncontrollable anxiety and frustration when you can\u2019t convince someone that you\u2019re telling the truth, or don\u2019t know if they are? Man alive, the agita. (This is especially a big thing for me because when I feel that someone isn&#8217;t listening to or believing me, I start laughing uncontrollably which does\u2026not help my case.)&nbsp;Women are taken advantage of all the time, dismissed as hysterical or crazy, have their experiences denied, gaslighted. This can, sadly, happen in intimate relationships, and women with mental health conditions are particularly at risk. The new play <em>Mites <\/em>by James Mannion explores this vulnerability, and the fact that I recommend Londoners check it out despite what it did for my agita speaks volumes about how provocative and interesting this show is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, there are dust mites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set in a very convincingly dirty and musty house that makes you feel itchy and also made me feverishly promise to clean my flat ASAP, <em>Mites<\/em> tells of Ruth (Claire Marie Hall), a lonely woman living on her country estate with her cat, Bartholomew (honestly a missed opportunity to pull a little <em>Spaceball<\/em>s and call him \u2018Bartholomeow\u2019) along with an infestation of the titular dust mites for company. Ruth\u2019s loneliness doesn\u2019t manifest as stereotypical depressive symptoms, but more manic and prone to flights of imagination (in a bad way). When Ken (George Howard), the pest controller, comes to help Ruth\u2019s dust mite problem, Ken realizes this opportunity to swindle a weak lady and is all \u2018hey it\u2019s me ur husband.\u2019 Ruth believes that he\u2019s Kenneth, the husband who left her long ago (yet somehow is\u2026decades younger than he should be by now), even though he\u2019s clearly taking advantage of a susceptible (and rich) woman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruth\u2019s anthropomorphic cat Barthy\n(Richard Henderson) is a highlight, hilarious as the voice of reason trying to\nconvince Ruth that Ken is a con man while enjoying his books. Yes, he\u2019s an\nintellectual who\u2019s well-read and speaks 9 languages, a source of some of the\nfunniest parts. He had me laughing out loud at his remarks, like when he tells\na newly invigorated Ruth that it\u2019s a waste of time to clean the house and it\u2019ll\nnever be clean, and she says \u201cwell, you can\u2019t fault me for trying!\u201d To which\nBarthy replies, \u201cyes I can, that\u2019s literally what I\u2019m doing.\u201d LOVES IT. Of\ncourse, in a play like this, even Barthy the intellectual cat is not who he\nseems, which of course he isn\u2019t I mean a cat doesn\u2019t show up at your door and\nask, ASK, if you want him to be your cat, but still, it was fun to pretend,\nevil bastard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first hour is packed with humor, but the darkness takes over as the vagueness of what\u2019s actually real and what\u2019s not, and who is really who, takes center stage. There\u2019s an absurd interlude with a look at the lives of actual mites, which is so nuts that it\u2019s amazing, but when we return to the humans it\u2019s hard to know what\u2019s really happening. Jarring voiceovers seem to start coming from nowhere, along with location changes that are compelling but hard to track. Confusion and vagueness like this can be powerful, especially in a play dealing with mental health issues, but it needs to be honed a bit more to harness that power. One character says the phrase &#8220;lost the plot&#8221; a few times and I remember thinking &#8220;well don&#8217;t point it out!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a play that deals with women being deceived, mental illness being manipulated, and hospitalization being threatened, it\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed and super agitated when you realize how it can reflect some people\u2019s reality. So I appreciate the bits of agency given to Ruth as she attempts to take back her control, although I am still in a whirl trying to determine what was actually real. I\u2019ll be thinking about this for days, I\u2019m sure. And despite some wonkiness in the back half, that\u2019s the sign of strong, interesting theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mites is playing until October 26. Seating is unassigned, with about a dozen rows of about 10 seats across.
