Seeing Generic1 is like flicking through an audible scrapbook with random cuttings of language.

The variety of extracts ranged from dull recitals of historical facts and dictionary definitions to dramatised readings of letters and diaries.

Audiences are encouraged to come and go at their leisure, adding to the pick and mix feel of the piece, although the suited and booted appearance of the two performers gives an uncomfortably stiff vibe.

Whether it was the eloquent speech, the mesmerising pictures flickering behind the performers or just the general strangeness of the piece, it grabbed my attention.
