Based on the original stage play, Dynamo by Chris Wilkinson. “A tatty strip-club stage, filled with large satin-covered bed and tinselled drapes. Four girls appear, each in turn performing her act. Dyn Amo is a ‘drama’ exploring the distinction between a person’s self and his projection of that self to others; and it’s a ‘horror movie’ tragically suggesting how a projection can become more substantial than the self behind it. Its subjects are role-playing (especially sexual role-playing), and the masochism of playing a role that conforms to others’ exploitative interests.” (Tony Rayns)
