The Plan B Show

****

If this show was any sharper it would probably cut itself. Seven nights into the run these guys have every move calculated. The cues are as quick fire as a tommy gun, which I think is probably one of the props used in this mindbogglingly slick production. The show takes us through the last 51 minutes of Steven Tooley's life, probably not something that Thomas Nelstrop has experienced himself, but he makes ever second of those 51 minutes count.

It was only when the cast found themselves transported back to the middle ages that there was a fleeting chance of pace dropping and even then the performance was still cruising at breakneck speed. Andy Spiers and Thomas Nelstrop make a formidable comedy duo bringing some great touches of physical comedy to the piece. From a technical point of view this show is great, a must for a fast paced comedy such as this. Comically speaking the cast never let the ball drop. They successfully pull off 3 elaborate musical numbers and even manage to pull new laughs from the often performed, rarely funny, man before God scenario. If you want to see a well written, well executed comedy which doesn't bother stopping to draw breath this is the one for you.
