Seriously funny series, exceptional cast. The story of an experimental theatre troupe trying to make it to opening night. Cleverly observed and brilliantly written. This production balances the pathos of being part of an experimental troupe with the comedy of their day to day struggle for survival. The actors know well the world their characters inhabit. What the characters reveal about themselves on their journey is occasionally poignant, but always hilarious. Mabel Aitken as Fiona, the dippy ex-dancer come dippy Arts Council assistant, stands out in a very talented cast, in a production which never fails to entertain. See it if you can.
