MOLT: The Museum of Lost Things

The story of a museum, and its ­­­­curator, caught somewhere between "any possible anywhere. MOLT: The Museum of Lost Things is a one man show that sits on the edge of reality. Presented by Fringe World, Peaks and Never Alone Theatre Company, it is playing in the beautifully intimate common room at Paper Mountain.

Solo performer Rian Howlett welcomes you to the Museum of Lost Things, which is a repository of things lost, from the mundane, to the obtuse, from keys and iPhones through to a well-known politician’s humanity.

A startlingly clever concept, but for me the execution of the production seemed to have lost its way, and it figuratively and literally lost some of the audience. While it runs shorter than its advertised 50 minutes, some judicious editing could make this a much stronger piece.

Rian Howlett is a likeable performer, with a lovely manner, and I would love to see him in other work.

MOLT: The Museum of Lost Things will appeal to those interested in offbeat philosophy and lovers of new and unusual theatre.
