Genre: Slapstick Comedy
Review: Don’t Dress for Dinner
For a farce there’s only one spot of monotony. That’s how uniformly outstanding this is.
Review: A Joke
A joyful leap into the unknown. These incredible performers take you on masterclass of japery.
Review: Arr We There Yet?
A Madcap Mashup of Circus and Storytelling with a Little Tango for Extra Spice
Review: The Exploded Circus
A skilful and sensory mix of acrobatics, aerial feats and juggling, encapsulated in a story about finding order after chaos
Review: The Messiah
Incestuous stars, passing of the ears, deep heat as a condition not an old muscle unguent. The dotty felicities of Patrick Barlow’s language in The Messiah directed by Rod Lewis are easily masked in the Norman Wisdom-like pratfalls of his hapless duo. Unless you add Mrs Flowers; and you should.
Review: A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody
With BLT there’s never anything less than carat quality production and as usual some treasurable performances. Do see this rarity and you’ll end up agreeing with playwright Ron Bernas, and the team here.
Review: Out of Order
Out of Order is a superbly revised first-rank farce with not a weak link, furiously paced featuring perhaps the only time the window (in person?) gets a curtain call.
Review: The Comedy About a Bank Robbery
The Comedy About a Bank Robbery redefines the category, by edging beyond even recent work and revealing a classic structure entering a hall of mirrors and going mad. The musical as well as general ensemble is the most remarkably timed I’ve ever seen in a theatre, and the set designs and shifts the most frantically split into milliseconds. This is an outstanding and redefining farce in every way.
Review: Wolf Meat
Profoundly silly and farcically serious show with just the kind of anarchy that offers coke to audience members. Contains brief and ghastly nudity.
Review: Sound & Fury’s ‘Lord of the Thrones’
A reluctant hero, an assortment of creatures and characters, a quest and plenty of chaos!
Review: The Rita Hayworth of this Generation
Dynamic, fascinating, hilarious and entertaining one woman show
