Review: Plucked @ Exeter Phoenix
Veganism seems to be a topic which is frequently joked about, with the stereotype of the militant and preachy vegan dominating most conversations about a lifestyle free of animal products. Although DiceBox’s first production, Plucked, has not marketed itself as ‘vegan theatre’, primarily focusing on the story of its mute protagonist, the troubled 12 year […]
Review: 2 Mouthed Men @ M&D Room
The concept of combining beatboxing with sketch comedy is already a profound enough feat in itself and, upon entering the M&D Room, some funky amateur beats set the mood of being ready to be impressed for the next hour. A table with a ‘2 Mouthed Men’ poster was spot-lit, leaving no doubt as to whose […]

Review: Holes @ Edinburgh Fringe
On a remote desert island Ian (Jack Smail) and Gus (Calum Wragg-Smith), quite possibly the last two men left alive, stand before sixteen-year-old Erin (Alice Palmer), quite possibly the last girl left alive, and explain to her that she must soon become the mother of humanity 2.0. Why should I? she asks. Because it’s right, […]

The Bluebelles at Edinburgh Fringe
A Capella is a difficult style to make a name in. For one, originality is a synonym for taking a song and mixing it with another song it really shouldn’t be mixed with. The collage sounds great when it’s got right, but when it’s done with little thought or execution it’s no worse than a stand-up […]
