REVIEW: Flhip Flhop
Media Education || Festival Radio Project| 'Flhip Flhop: Everything Happens On The Break' Venue: Zoo Southside |
The show we picked for our review was 'Flhip Flhop: Everything happens on the break' performed by the Rannell Theatre Company. The reason for choosing this show was it seemed like an unusual and possibly exciting production.
The best way to describe the show would be that it is a kinetically-charged mix of psychical comedy, musical trickery and dance. The Zoo is an old- style school building in which the audience was seated in a hall of the building on temporary seating . Basing the performance in such ad hoc surroundings seemed to benefit the show and the pair who performed it used this to build a rapport.
The plot was simple: two bored painter decorators indulging in goofy antics, rifling through their bosses record collection and having a not-so-subtle dig at each other. Their use of everyday items and musical gadgetry was inventive and entertaining.
It was a broad selection of ages, from children to the more mature who attended this show. Although initially cautious the audience really warmed to the show and reacted with delight to the duo's tomfoolery. We would recommend this show for people of any age who wanted to see a fun, energy-filled show and particularly fans of new psychical theatre.
This production will be running at The Zoo Southside Venue from August the 9th to August the 31st.
