REVIEW: TwentySomething
Media Education || Festival Radio Project| 'TwentySomething' Venue: Laughing Horse @ The Hive Address: 15-17 Niddry Street ***** |
'TwentySomething’ an excellent new comedy written, directed and performed by six very talented actors who all glowed throughout the performance.
Performed in a dingy nightclub ‘The Hive’ I was very surprised by the overall feel I had, it was not at all how I expected to feel. The play set in a bar where a meeting of 6 former friends took place, all characters were struggling with life in general and just wanted to forget their friends and carry on with their own lives, the characters were all completely different with all conforming to stereotypes from the ‘toff’ to the ‘hippy’ to the ‘geek’ and to the ‘lesbian’. All throughout I couldn’t stop thinking why the company had not charged for the tickets because I can guarantee that people would definitely pay for this fresh new show.
The cast were very strong and enthusiastic and I particularly liked the character of Michael who was a gay hairdresser, he was hilarious and reminds me of a very close friend of mine who weirdly enough is called Michael.
I really enjoyed this piece and look forward to seeing them in the future! A definite 5 stars from me. Well done!
