Slung Low shows how regional theatre can stay fresh

guardian.co.uk: "No sooner does Lyn Gardner ask, than she receives. Last week Lyn bemoaned the lack of experimentation in regional theatres. This week I went to Salford for Slung Low's latest show, Beyond the Frontline. How best to describe it? Well, it's a site-specific, promenade melange of new writing, installation, movement, a newly commissioned requiem and the biggest cast I've ever seen (134), running around in full British army fatigues amid big explosions and pyrotechnics. If this isn't risk-taking, and on a scale that makes the word hubristic seem a bit understated, then I don't know what is."
