I got to see ‘Sammy J in the Forest of Dreams’ last year during the Edinburgh Festival 2009, this Fringe I decided to see ‘Sammy J 1999’ his other show as I knew ‘Forest’ was touring.

From the 1^st to the 27^th September Sammy J, Heath McIvor and the cast of ‘The Forest of Dreams’ are touring the UK. Saturday 5^th saw the show at the Adam Smith Theatre Kirkcaldy. I hotfooted it out there to see a show I knew I was about to enjoy but oops I didn’t quite expect what I got. The Forest of Dreams has gone adult! Far more risqué and with much stronger language than in 2008, the show is now totally directed at adult audiences.

I was wondering if both Sammy and Heath have been tacking tips from ‘Randy’, Heath’s friend from this Fringe.

Some of the characters joining Sammy are the talking tree, Terry the squirrel, Farlow, Yople, Foxy Squire, the talking birds and Orange King. There are times I am convinced there are more than two people on stage with all the characters performing.

This hilarious show introduces us to the warped mind of Sammy J who with Heath McIvor creates an adult musical utilising hand puppets, full size puppets, background projections and shadow puppetry in imaginative unusual ways. If you get a chance to go and see this join in as much as possible as they seem to appreciate it.
