Mitchell & Manton

Everyone remembers their first love don't they? With the resurgence of nostalgia manifested in the likes of Friends Reunited and albums such as The Best School Disco album in the world Toby Mitchell and Emma Manton have build a comedy theatre piece around their own and their audiences 'First Loves.'

The gently paced non-threatening show is well written and structured, both Mitchell and Manton are endearing and obviously have a great rapport. They seem to be enjoying themselves almost as much as the audience were.

Using the results of questionnaires they have previously issued together with some they had planted we follow their journey to track down their characters own first loves by using the internet and other sources eventually succeeding to some extent but with a definite twist in the tale.

This is a very amusing play, and for me it finished all too soon, check it out if you can and find out if nostalgia is as good as it used to be.
