Improv at its best in the hands of seasoned actors, very funny show.
A hit of the Fringe. Beautifully conceived and written, to reimagine your own grandmother's shenanigans in an era when Betty Friedan was just lifting the curtain on the stifling life of the suburban housewife. The cast members are all terrific and the show is polished, perfectly set at the VideoCabaret space. It is very funny yet heartfelt - and with tradwives being today's thing, it's surprisingly relevant.
Liked this brave show a lot. Adapting the Midsummer Night's Dream story to the 1920s is fun and playful, giving this musical team lots of scope to create their story. It's a work in progress, as the program acknowledges, and has some rough spots, but the overall enthusiasm and commitment of the cast shines through. Gareth Finnigan as Andy (Lysander) is an absolute treat as singer and physical comedian. The backing music was a bit too loud to hear some of the song lyrics, and the singing is perhaps a bit underrehearsed. But overall it's fun and well worth checking out.
This is a gem of a show. A clever and funny riff on the friendship/rivalry between Lord Byron and his friend/doctor John Polidori, it tells about the writing of the first "vampyre" ghost story. The writing is sharp and funny as heck and the two actors are totally locked in. There are moments of brilliance in the physical acting and stagecraft - yes, do go see it!
Sharp script, great cast, and a fun way to engage the audience without being cringe. The premise about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is clever. Really enjoyed this very funny show
