Kendall went to a crappy school in a crappy small town in Australia. Her show takes the events of one teenage day in October 1990 and weaves them into a story that is captivating, enriching and very, very funny. The tale takes in bullying, friendship, betrayal, magic and some very strange dreams.
The story is extremely well constructed, with recurring motifs, themes and a series of highs and lows. Sarah is very likeable, consistently funny and throws in a few lovely moments of physical comedy. But she is also able to engage the audience emotionally at times and bring to life a past that can occasionally turn uncomfortable.
A wonderful way to spend an hour - despite the heat in that room!
Sarah Kendall : A Day in October is on in Assembly Studio Five, George Square, at 18.45 until the 31st.
