Having seen both Menu 1 and Menu 2 it seemed only fair to complete the set. The identical format and cast to the other two, and probably the best overall offering of the trio.
Will you marry me? In Lifetime a couple meet on the street, propose, accept, marry, have rows, have kids, go to war, in a ten minute highlights reel. Are our lives really any different? In the very clever and extremely funny Fight Book four characters, A, B, C and D, engage in 'discussion' on Facebook from four recognisably stereotypical positions, complete with misunderstandings, overreactions, pretensions, oversensitivity and cute animal gifs. Is the invocation of Godwin's Law the inevitable end point? Four 'types' we'll all know - and fit into. Me? I'm a C....
A Different Time proves to be an unexpectedly moving drama, where the reunion of three old school friends shows how we can ignore the sufferings of others to construct our own version of the past. Fourth up is Emperor's New Clothes, a satire on the art world that has plenty of laughs, but doesn't quite hit the target. And finally Whiskey, a twist upon twist comedy where nobody is quite what they seem, with a wonderful performance from Rosie Edwards as the multi-accented femme fatale.
If you haven't seen any of their offerings then try to grab one before the run ends.
The Big Bite-Size Breakfast Show is on in Pleasance Dome at 10.30 until 28 August (the only remaining performance of Menu 3 is on the 27th).
