One
of Michael Green's series 'Four Plays for Coarse Actors' designed
to encourage actors to 'unlearn' their skills in order to present
themselves as an imbecilic local group, this the company did with
gusto much to the delight of the audience, which partially
consisted of another group of performers in full costume (matching
in part those on stage).
The
ten performers seem to be having great fun but occasionally
streaks of genius became apparent. Some of the funnier moments
included Mike Edwards but as he had more parts and was probably on
stage longer than anyone else was hardly surprising.
Alice Robinson as the only female in the company has quite
a lot to put up with but copes admirably.
In
the full traditions of the Fringe it was short, sweet and
performed with flair.
