Big Bite-Size Lunch Hour: Best Bites, Pleasance Dome, Edinburgh Fringe

Another hugely entertaining and varied hour from the Bite Size team.  Five playlets ranging from a solo performance (as a dog) to six taking the stage for a scene in a restaurant.  There's the need to ignore our nagging inner voices, the dangers and disappointments of too much information, and a gentle mockery of the cliches of Film Noir.

Javier Rasero excels in generating sympathy for the brutal but faithful Boris the Rottweiler.  Billy Knowelden's ironic sax player gets the best laughs in Big Fish, Little Fish.  And Claira Watson-Parr gives a nicely buttoned up performance as the wife in Vintage who takes things a bit too far.

Funny, thought provoking and always fun, this is another excellent hour.
