 | A highly amusing evening. Do not let your pre-conceived theatre ideals get in the way of a highly entertaining show, take it with a pinch of salt and laugh!! - 194.154.22.54) | 01 Feb 06 |
| i have seen amato saltone 3 times now and each time it has been a completely different show - i don't want to give away any of the surprises but i can only advise you to see it - probably more than once - i also saw tropicana and one about a plane crash - all brilliant. - 86.132.180.12) | 16 Jan 06 |
| I loved Tropicana, but I also loved this. It is spectacular which amazing sets, effects, and their usual perfect comic timing. It may not have the strong linear narrative of previous shows, but is has even stronger thematic links around our own voyeurism towards violence and sex as represented through film noir and thriller writing. In many ways i thought this a tighter - 83.67.34.238) | 06 Jan 06 |
| After enjoying Tropicana very much, this was a disappointment. It lacked the cohesiveness of that previous show and was a lot less effective. Commendably, they have adopted a different shape and feel with Amato and utilised the fascinating vaults space in not quite the same way as before but overall it just didn't hang together quite as well. As before there are a number of devices and techniques employed that coax some audience involvement into play, and there are some genuinely amusing moments and I won'r deny that there is a thread of sorts running through it. As I said: if you enjoyed Tropicana, prepare to be a bit disappointed, but if you haven't experienced one of Shunt's productions it's still worth going along. - 194.80.238.40) | 18 Nov 05 |
