This piece 'grabbed me' and the rest of the audience I'm sure, from the start. Dramatic, action-packed storytelling by one man playing a cast of strong characters and playing a ukelele(?) and a penny whistle. A fairy-tale atmosphere was immediately created for this fast-paced, exciting story and other 'grisly tales' were wrapped into this show seamlessly. They were clearly told or, more usually, sung and were quite special if grisly.
The set was simple - a chair, a cloth and a ladder, the last of which was cleverly used.
The performance was engaging, even memorable. It would suit family audiences and, although it could have been cut by five minutes towards the end, I strongly recommend it.
