Take a brilliantly constructed script,
zany action, witty songs and crazy impersonations, and what you
have in this show is the best in comedy theatre. Four guys and one
girl act out a series of fast moving sketches, at first appearing
unrelated but the character of the embarrassingly named Steve
Hitler develops as the connecting link - as does for some
reason a little guy called Squirt.
A myriad of characters appear and each
performer times their lines to perfection. It is perhaps unfair to
pick out the best but the Police Chief and Pete the unemployed
Cockney are performed with such fervour and intensity that they
almost stop the show.
My only quibble is that with 3 Brits and
2 Americans in the cast it was difficult to place the setting.
However, who cares when the laughs keep coming and coming. These
are 5 very talented individuals and I am dying to see what they
next produce.
