Review: Once Upon A Time: Naughty Fairytales Your Mother Never Told You

Once Upon A Time: Naughty Fairytales Your Mother Never Told You

Two Shades of Blue

'Two Shades of Blue' say they’re like ‘’Allo ‘Allo', and they did have awful accents…unintentionally. They say they’re like 'Shrek' and they do reproduce the clichéd stereotypes that 'Shrek' picked up on. They say they’re like the ‘Carry On Films’ and they do come across as slightly seedy. However, I would say that they are like an uncharismatic am-dram group trying to be funny, succeeding in some parts but mostly not. They do provide a decent storyline, good technical aspects and add some new features to old characters, but despite the high point with Prince Charming and the magic mirror, the performers appear nervous on stage, insecure in their own abilities and at parts, I struggled to hear them from the front row. Awkward theatre.
