Spent 7 hrs in the airport as plane had broken down so missed most of day 1. (Karma for flying I think)
Not had time to do propper reviews but here's some first impressions.
Fishamble. Silence- a one man play about madness, very strong, funny, well acted- very good quality. Probably more a studio type piece but you never know and possibly not the easiest to sell but definately worth a look
Doctor Brown- comedy weird and not my cup of tea- but quite a few others were laughing and getting good reviews. I just did not find him funny and though he was a bit predictable. Definetaly a festival type show and don't see it working many places
The Incredible Book Eating Boy- Bootworks- alovely 5minute show for one- do go an d see this. Its a kids story and the attention to detail is great, fun experience - not your typical show but check it out- then figure out how the hell you'd programme it .
Bubblewrap and Boxes by Asking For Trouble- Australian comapny - 2 hander kids show with acrobatics/ clowning. I warmed to this, some nice ideas and the female performer is very watchable. Thoroughly enjoyed by the audience though at times I was getting abit bored it is a nice idea for a fmily show.
The Games- Spike Theatre If you want to see something really silly and have a good laugh go then see this. Very tongue in cheek show about the ancient Greek Olympic games, - lots of terrible gags that were mostly funny, very silly, fun nudity, a puppet penis- what more can I say- I can see this working for a few village halls that want something irreverent and fun. Good reception form audience.
