First the ending. There are happy endings, sad endings, even bizarre endings but the ending to this show is as spectacular as I have ever witnessed. Mime clowns play the part of a wild family consisting of a romantic pregnant mother, the alcoholic husband and their 4 children – 2 strange girls, 1 demonic boy and the crazy baby. There is a loose story line but it is the action that counts. The fact that the performers come from Russia matters little because good visual humour needs no translation. All manner of family situations are demonstrated. The timing between the music and sound effects enhances the physical action. A vast number of props are used which must be a nightmare to gather up and prepare for the next show. Scene after scene unfolds with all or various members of the family. The audience is brought into the action in a good natured way and at times the whole theatre is the set. As the show draws to a close a darker side takes over. The husband leaves the family. The children are distraught, but the show ends on a happy note with the return of the father and the spectacular euphoric ending. This is a show for all ages. Children will enjoy the show as will those adults who have something of the child still lurking in their personality. ****
