Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | I felt I was watching an succession of impressions. David Brent and Alison Steadman with a spitting Image Scotsman thrown in for good/bad measure. The dialogue was tedious and going nowhere. What is the point I kept thinking? Fortunately I was relieved of having to sit through the second act due to the indisposition of one of the cast members ..... perhaps they'd had enough of it too? The Bush well off form. - rds | 19 Feb 10 |
| This is one hour of sketches and one-liners on the theme of leaving your lover. It's a very hit-and-miss affair which would be fun on the fringe but isn't really substantial enough for a night at the Bush. I don't know how big or noisy the previous tour venue was, but in this tiny space they often shout unecessarily, making the show even cruder and lacking in subtlety. The grumpy old man in me wants to say that 'it's really for the youngsters'. It's really for the youngsters. - Gareth James | 08 Aug 08 |
