Cheque Please, Theatre Review. Zoo, Edinburgh, Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Madeleine Hardy, Nick Slater, Diderik Ypma, Libby Boyd, Genevieve Cunnell, Becca Jones.

It is the bill that can never be truly split, the one that becomes the sole reserve of the person to whom the experience has affected with greater clouded reasoning than another and the one that whilst people may want to go Dutch with you upon, to share in the bleakness that crowds the everyday, they also want to leave their own version of a tip firmly implanted in that person’s mind. The idea of asking for the Cheque Please, is one that is shrouded in air of finality and calculated judgement.

I Got Dressed, Theatre Review. Zoo, Edinburgh, Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Katherine Vince.

What secrets women hold in their hearts into which even a two and half year boy can feel intrigue in and yet by the time they have grown in men will have them scratching their heads at in perplexed and agonising astonishment at.

The Diary Of A Madman, Theatre Review. Zoo, Edinburgh, Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Robert Bowman.

In the end it doesn’t take much to make a person go mad and it’s not always the God’s who have the ability to do so before they destroy them, circumstances and love both can play their own distinctive part in the tragedy to come.

The Dream Sequentialists, Theatre Review. Zoo, Edinburgh. Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9.5/10

Cast: Sam Hind, Edward Jones, Michael Clarke, Josie Dale Jones, Ali Dunk, Lucy Menghan, James Gould.

Every so often life presents itself to the everyday person without is guise of normality and shows itself for the most perfect manifestation of the absurd you could ever hope to meet. It is that rare honour of seeing something so magnificent, so uncontrollably bizarre that you cannot help but love every single second of its company. Even in dreams the absurd holds court and sway over the minds of the deserving and for The Dream Sequentialists, absurd is second nature and it is a state of being that will have any audience member beaming as they leave the theatre.

Herstory, Theatre Review. Zoo, Edinbrugh. Edinbrugh Fringe Festival.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Zosia Jo.

It is in the words and actions of someone’s story into which details and connections are made, you might not hear the whole story without both and for that lives can become lost and destructive behaviour can go unchecked.

History has always been made from the words from the top of society down, it is only in the last seventy years that has been allowed to be challenged and only in recent times that there is rightly more to be gained by listening to Herstory, listening more than ever to the words and thoughts of the women in society, really taking stock of the situation to which some women find themselves in and the trials they go through.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Matt Neubauer, Charlotte Holtum, Bella Driessen, Louise Farnall, Matt Aldridge, Lia Lee, Vincenzo Monachello, Polly Cohen, Ally Rooms.

 

There are no monsters under the bed, there are none hiding in the closets, but as the University College London Union Runaground Theatre Company are wonderfully adept at showing, Monsters are still very real and are able to take root in the very heart of all if allowed.
