Review *****
A look at Witness Protection in a surreal , quirky, absurdist way.  A very inventive show with some great comic moments.  The show leads you to think about the choices someone makes when they change their identity.  Superbly written, directed and performed.  The set is minimal, although tech requirements are a little more complex than the average show so I do not think it would work in village halls, but would work in small arts centres that have masking and an overhead rig.

Suitable / ready for rural touring?
Possibly
Would you book them ?
Yes – definitely
Would it be worth pursuing this company to consider work in the future?
Yes, but not sure they tour much (although have just heard they plan to tour Kidnapped by RLS next year)
