Review: Accidents happen to Sasha Ellen

When: 16th-28th August at 20:00
Where: Just the Tonic at the Mash House (Venue 288)

Ben's review:

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

I think a woman next to us nearly died! She was hilarious, with some very relatable stories.

The Girlfriend's review:

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟  

Sasha took us on a journey through her crazy life: unwanted pregnancies, break ups and accidental pet slaughter. I was in stitches, some things I probably shouldn't have laughed at but I couldn't help it! She engaged well with the audience and I felt as though we really connected with her personality.

Animal activists and kitten lovers probably shouldn't watch this.

Shit-faced Shakespeare: Macbeth

Ben's review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐  You don't really need me to review this. The essence of this show has not changed for the last 4 years. Despite this it is a fan favorite and will always be a full house.  Like watching your best friend stumble home drunk from a night out, Shit Faced Shakespeare will always get you to where you need to be and give you a story for tomorrow morning. The girlfriend's review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ We go every year (that is how I keep Ben coming to the fringe) as we find the format hilarious. This year we saw a drunk Macduff and our second bare man bum of the fringe. He spent a lot of time crawling on the stage and singing. I'm always impressed by the other cast members keep (relatively) straight faces and going with the changes to the script introduced by the drunk. Well worth a visit a

Fish Bowl

Ben's review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  3 very different people forced together through affordable long, this os the future for us all. And whilst some of the things that happen may be truly shocking, we have our housemates there to help.  A great piece of physical theatre to start your day off, unlike any other physical theatre I've seen here the focus is not on showing off a well trimmed body but on giving the audience real life comedy and it is wonderful. The girlfriend's review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent physical comedy piece showing three people living very different lives in apartments side by side. The set for this one is a masterpiece with so many creative bits to it. Make sure you stay after the bows for a little treat!

Notre Dame de Paris

Ben's review: ⭐  I commend this troop on trying to attach a storyline to some of the troops talents. But for me this just didn't work.   Slow and well more slow, there seems to be a very niche audience for this that I am not part of. Let's focus on the positive ... that goat was born for the stage. The girlfriend's review: ⭐ This piece is in the "Dance, physical theatre and circus" category but doesn't really meet that. There was a lot more talking than I expected and unfortunately their acting skills just weren't quite up to it. The script is very slow and could have been cut down significantly. The story didn't fully flow and it was hard to understand why Quasimodo wanted to help Esmeralda and why Phobeus was no longer dead. Esmeralda was one of the weaker cast members looking uncomfortable when she was on stage, her dance moves were also not very elegant. I was expecting fire and spectacle unfortunately I was bored, cold and wet....
