Mutton

Chix where a girl band with the world at their feet and a massive hit record, well it reached no 15, some years ago and this comedy play opens with the video playing on the back drop as three of the originals, Red, Kiki Hendrick, Shelagh, Sue Vincent and Nuela Catherine Rice meet up for a drink in a pub that used to be their old stomping ground.

The years have played there part in these three ladies lives, and not all for the good. The drink flows, served by Sean, Gareth Kane, the Irish barman and the encounter with uber fan Malcolm, Paul Henshall, is perhaps the catalyst required to spur the intrepid trio back into the limelight under the new guise as Mutton.

This play had loads of potential, but for me this was not truly realised. Each character was somewhat stereotyped and there was nothing that really captured my imagination even though all gave a solid acting performance.
