Review: So He Made Some Soup…And Other Tales

So He Made Some Soup…And Other Tales

ButterflyBelly Theatre Company

The production of this play was very much soup-like, reminiscent of a minestrone or broth with every possible meat and vegetable in it creating a lucky dip of edibles, where an intrepid spoon could produce a mouth-watering piece of lamb or alternatively a drooping, insipid courgette. At times creative with theatrically innovative ideas, for the most part it felt diluted, like it hadn’t been allowed to simmer; the cast seemed unsure of their lines and nervous about their blocking, which drained a lot of the energy vital to the confusing plot - where you are given just enough croutons to keep up with it. The recipe was interesting enough, but the cook spoiled the broth.
