White
faces, big colourful hair, black outfits and a huge scaffolding
frame that fills the stage.
That's the first impression that I had
about this show, but first impressions can sometimes be
misleading. There is way, way more to this spectacle than that.
It's a quasi restoration comedy, it's a magnificent piece of
physical theatre, it's 3 acting performances that are a credit to
the performers Harper Ray, Lucinda Ryan and Lindsay Trehearne, it
has music, and has the cast clambering around the scaffolding and
the girls are doing so in high heels!!
The
three performers created the piece themselves inspired by the
music and lyrics of Shane Cullinan and it should be top of the
list for lunchtime entertainment.
An
interested spectator at the performance I saw was Pop Idol
winner Will Young who was paying his first visit to the Edinburgh
Fringe. Will said that he selected this show because he had heard
good things about it and had friends in the company. He added that
he enjoyed the show very much.
Who
knows may be one4review will have a celebrity reviewer before
long!!!
