The behold of the eye is where you store the things that strike you, the things that you find beautiful… and it’s also where your fairy lives, should you be lucky enough to have one. Flashjack the fairy gets captured in the behold of a young boy, which changes as he grows up and has to confront his own identity, and his own inner demons, which are all too real for Flashjack. I had a tough time with this piece, tougher than I think I probably should have. I really liked the concept, but something about the delivery didn’t quite work for me. I can see this piece being really powerful for anyone who’s ever felt like they had to hide a major piece of who they were, though.

A coming of age story of both a fairy, Flashjack, who lives in a person's perceptorium, and Toby, a baby, his host. Set, strangely, in Glasgow, a very unfairy-like place. Cute but overlong. ( )
