The Makeba Players
If you enjoy seeing a piece of theatre where the scene changes are longer than the scenes, where you enjoy playing spot the cliché and appreciate the irony of watching another play about gang-culture and hard up street-youths in an decadently decorated room in the middle of the affluent Merchant's Hall, this is for you. The acting flirts on the side of staleness and the pace is at best stuttering, and while the idea of setting it in traverse is meritable, they should have tried actually acting in traverse, rather than acting in different directions on alternate scenes. It wasn't the worst thing I've seen, but my most enjoyable moment was watching the man opposite trying to fend off sleep.
Spotlites @ The Merchant's Hall, 5 - 9 Aug, 6.05pm (7.05pm), £6.50 (£6.00), fpp 190.
