Claws Out
Gilded Balloon Productions and Linda Catalano
I must admit I approached this show with an element of trepidation. Comedy on the Fringe can be cutting and cruel, and when the show sets out to turn Linda into a 'Super-bitch' and being one of the few males in this predominantly female audience I was wary.
Linda is Australian, of Italian stock, and her character explains a lot of the ethnic values of the old Country that still influence the second or third generations of these family especially in the views that all girls should find a boyfriend and get married regardless.
Linda leads us through her characters job as a sales assistant in the underwear department of a shop and how she hates the job, an encounter with the super bitch she went to school with and gradually morphs into a bitch herself together with a new costume, and a new male slave, fortunately not me!!!!
