Synopsis
Have you always been the best at spelling? Did you never win musical chairs, or get the prize in pass the parcel? Would the thought of a time-tables quiz make you break out in a cold sweat? Was your little brother able to whip your arse on Sports Day every year? Well, now's your chance to try again. Join us for an evening of competitions where you're certain to get Ten out of Ten. Being the best all night long will make sure you leave with a spring in your step... Ten out of Ten is an anarchic and uplifting performance inspired by success, failure and guilt.
