Review: When Wendell Was A Wasp

When Wendell Was A Wasp

Unfinished Theatre

Bad: bad accents, bad jokes, bad plot, bad acting, bad costumes, bad venue, bad storyline, bad lyrics, bad style, bad theatre. The show seems to revolve around a wasp, a boy with a rubbish whale-hat and a bear-cum-stand-up-comedian who revels in telling bad jokes, coming together to create a bad children’s play. In fact, I’m worried that this show is aimed at children as throughout the forty-five minutes of the performance there were references to bestiality and Wendell the Wasp was needlessly and unemotionally killed. The only saving grace to this performance was some of the songs, which added a more child-friendly touch and the use of slick projections. Certainly seemed to be unfinished theatre.
