In
'As You Like It' Shakespeare declares most of us go through seven
stages of life; infancy, childhood, lover, soldier, wisdom,
retirement and old age, Kevin Tomlinson uses these seven ideals to
work through his show from start to finish.
Taking
suggestions from the audience by means of written lines of
dialogue, donated objects and two volunteers, he changes from
scene to scene in this totally improvised show.
He also occasionally uses costumes and masks creating sketches around his stock of characters. Built round his personal
experiences and those of his audience a completely different
experience occurs each day.
I
found the show very funny, clever and not too heavy, yet thought
provoking.
