As
you might expect from the Oxford Revue this is very funny night
out.
Well,
eveningÂ’s entertainment might be stretching it a little as
it only lasts 35 minutes.
Still
itÂ’s the quality not the quantity that matters. A subject that
many can identify with as it concerns not fitting in to societyÂ’s
narrow view of the world.
The
current Oxford Revue President Rose Heiney has written a marvellous
monologue, which is reminiscent of a young Dawn French. May her
comedy career grow as big.
This
is a brilliantly original show starring the excellent Charlie Covell.
Her comic timing and expressive face add to the merriment.
Praise
must also go to Polly Findlay as director, for her bold use of the
space. While John Larkey the sole male in the company, operates
the lighting with a fine touch.
The
intimacy of the set design and seating arrangements help create
an atmosphere where the secrets of this bedroom can be revealed.
You
donÂ’t have to be a public school educated university student
to enjoy this show, but it helps. Who knew they ever had it so bad!
