Fat Content
Pure unadulterated madness, bordering on depicting the incestuous, and defiantly lewd. 'The Gannet' is a hot-pot of creative ideas stirred with a 'Hansel and Gretel' based storyline. Interesting characters, and absurdist action, is unfortunately undermined by an uneven flow and poor acting during the more naturalistic moments. I feel that I should have enjoyed this more, but the atmosphere created seemed stilted and lacking, due to it being placed in a black box. A more avant-garde approach to the audience and their allocated space could result in an improved mood and tone, dragging the play-goers into Fat Content's world, rather than the current persistent feeling of being a spectator. A curious and Absurdist piece which is enjoyable to watch.
Pleasance Dome, 5 - 31 Aug (not 18), 4.00pm (5.00pm), prices vary, fpp 197.
