Judith Faultless and Alys Torrance are a
pair of comediennes who we previously saw in 2003 in the much
acclaimed The Flirt Lab. They have impressive cv’s including
radio and television, not to mention their work on the comedy
circuit and are back gracing the Fringe with this splendidly
funny, occasionally silly, but eminently watchable comedy piece
based on the John Travolta, Nicholas Cage movie Face Off.
In an effort to save The Film Society, us
the audience, from a bomb planted by Alys and her evil twin, Evil
Alys, Faultless and Torrance take the steps of swapping faces,
bodies and finally brains in this well written and creatively
directed by Paul Arendt hour of mayhem.
Evil twins, imaginatively staged
operations, sword play, popcorn and jiggling boobs are just some
of the devices used to ‘assist’ the ladies in their quest to
find the explosive before the end of the show.
This madcap adventure is certainly well
worth checking out, but beware I have a feeling that the ‘Film
Society’ could easily become over subscribed, so join while
there is still available membership.
