This performance consists of very many short sketches set all around the UK separated by real, recorded voices of people previously interviewed and introduced by an electronic notice 'screen'. Three actors, two men and one woman perform adequately but the material is not strong enough in my opinion. However, the format gives the actors the chance to show their range, particularly of accents and this, for me, held some interest.
I presume the idea is to give an overview of life in Britain today by presenting these snapshot scenes. Some sketches are amusing, a few poignant but too many are pointless, in my view.
