Gosh I found you had to pay attention throughout this 2 hour and 15 minute production as if you took your foot off the pedal you missed essential dialogue of the story, in the build up to what became a hilarious play.

Very funny and lots of pertinent references to what is going on in the world today politically and otherwise. 

Very taken with actor George Fouracres who brought such humour to the stage and was pivotal in creating the laughter from the audience.

Funny and fun to watch with a brilliant audience who really got behind the actors (Amy Booth-Steel, Natalie Dew, Karina Fernandez, George Fouracres, Laurie Kynaston, Philipp Mogilnitskiy and Fenella Woolgar) actually somehow becoming part of the play in this tiny unique theatre.

Really enjoyed the production and got me guffawing with laughter.
