A return to the Pleasance Dome for another helping of Breakfast. We were there three weeks ago so there's no need to remind you of the format. This time we saw Menu Three and six playlets.
Once again the show was fast paced, funny, sharply scripted and very well acted. And once again some interesting themes were touched on. The ways in which our old friends can become an embarrassment to us as we move on in life, the excesses of capitalism and the stupidity of modern selling techniques, the dislocation of commitment phobia and the madness and neediness of social media and celebrity. Plus a very clever drama in which every line was a single word.
Once again all six actors gave excellent performances, but the standouts this time were Annie Harris and Katrina Holloway, the former sharp and sassy as a sex worker, the latter bringing pathos to a duck. Yes, really. You should see it to know what I mean.
The Big Bite Size Breakfast show is in the Pleasance Dome at 10.30 and runs until the 31st.
