April (Alison O'Donnell) excited, her sister May (Irene Allan) is trepidatious. David John (Grant O'Rourke) is coming home. David John has been released on a technicality. April married David John in prison, despite his being sentenced to life for murdering, and dissolving in acid, several men. What on earth could a manipulative, vindictive woman be wanting from an easily led serial killer?
Played entirely for laughs, with a script (by O'Donnell's partner, DC Jackson) that begs to be hammed up, IDMLIABOA is a 50 minute feast of fast moving silliness and hilarity. Running gags, visual gags, one liners, slow burners, the laughs rarely let up. The scenario is swiftly established, the characters soon delineated, and we're off. No serious underlying themes, no 'meaning', just a daft romp and all the better for it. Solid performances from all 3 cast members, but O'Rourke did stand out for his wonderful timing. Great fun.
