Part of the Camden Fringe 2013 Written and Directed by Kat Woods Presented by Purple Penguin Productions★★★★ Pros: Sex, sex, and more sex. Cons: Occasionally a bit too much sex (no, not really). Our Verdict: Of course this show is about more than sex but there is a lot of talk about it in it. Bright, sparkly and very, very witty. Courtesy of Purple Penguin Productions Cheeky, irreverent, chock full of inappropriate language, in a completely raucous setting above a ...

Part of the Camden Fringe 2013Written and performed by Jake Hassam and Nigel Munson ★★★ Pros: The concept gets you thinking, and the dialogue is clever and amusing. Cons: The second half struggles to maintain the strength of the first. Our Verdict: When it’s good, it’s very good. However, some of the scenes fail to captivate, and the ending, though effective on some levels, is a bit of an anticlimax. Do you believe in bureaucracy after death? Imagine getting to ...

Part of the Camden Fringe 2013 By Isaac Bashevis Singer Adapted & directed by David Zoob ★★★  Pros: The story and characters are complex. The level of detail the play develops in such a small interval of time is quite amazing. Cons: However well presented, a little more time would have given the play a better sense of drama. Our verdict: A production which draws you in with its atmosphere, despite the fact that it would have benefited with more ...

Part of the Camden Fringe 2013 Written and directed by Nick Card ★★ Pros: The scene with the lads reminiscing about Katie dancing in her fancy pants really stood out. Cons: A few glimmers of fun but overall a bit predictable. Our Verdict:  It didn’t really live up to the promising comedy title. The production needs a little more work to bring its concept to fruition. Courtesy of Etcetera Theatre The Etcetera theatre has been a hub of activity during the ...

Part of the Camden Fringe 2013 Polis LoizouPresented by The Off-Off-Off Broadway Company ★★★★ Pros: The acting is superb, the story is compelling, and the sense of the spirit world is executed effectively.  Cons: It was too short. At only 45 minutes, it was over too quickly.  Verdict: This small-scale performance demonstrates how little is needed to create a dynamic and entertaining piece of theatre. It succeeds in every way, particularly in its aim to provoke fear in an audience.  Courtesy ...

Part of the Camden Fringe 2013Yazz Fetto ★★ Pros: There is good improvisation, as well as funny scripted moments. Cons: Where the play tries to address topical issues surrounding modern-day Christianity, it falls a bit flat. Our Verdict: The central story could be stronger, and some of the messages are questionable. But ultimately this play is written and performed for laughs. This comedy explores the business behind organised religion. Vestments and neckbands have been replaced with suits, and ties printed ...

Part of the Camden Fringe 2013 Written and directed by Matthew Radway★★★ Pros: Great British one-liners and an enjoyable first half. Cons: Falters in places, mostly towards the end. Our Verdict: A good work in progress that can and, no doubt, will get better. With a living room over-flowing with Princess Diana memorabilia, the stage is set and we immediately get a clear idea of who we think this Diana-obsessed couple are. Queen of Hearts is an interesting look at ...

Part of the Camden Fringe 2013 Joseph Rynhart, Callum Stewart and Diana WinterDirected by: Grinning Idiots Theatre ★★★ Pros: The rich comedy territory of children’s entertainment provides plenty of verbal and physical jokes. Cons: It’s not the most original idea and could be developed further. Our Verdict: Overall, it’s a bit of a giggle with a student sense of humour stamped all over it. This is a show by a new group of acting graduates. Originally designed as a course project, it ...
