NUTS
are a group that attend the Fringe on a yearly basis and it is assured
that their performances are always of a high quality, and this years
production written and directed by Edward Berresford is certainly upto
previous standards.
Andy,
James Johnson, is the bright pupil of the family, which consists of brother Tony, Ed
Clifton, a manipulative rival, older sister Isabelle, Helen Zara, has
learning difficulties, and mum Rachel Gay and father, Michael
Butterworth, but what secrets do they hold?
Andy
swears on his mothers life not to lie for a week, but is manipulated by
Tony into situations where he must either lie or hurt those close, not
least being his girlfriend Vanessa, Primrose Dixon.
Although
this is a fairly short piece, the characters are developed beautifully
and they whole piece draws one into the story with ease.
I
certainly have no qualms in recommending this as a fine example of early
afternoon theatre.
