P.I.E. is an entertaining, tongue in cheek comedy thriller. The heroes are female private detectives Hatcher and Velvet. Hatcher is the experienced, street-wise one and Velvet the enthusiastic but witless new partner. Liz Hague and Kate Mooney perform their story, also playing the roles of clients, suspects and villains. They employ a range of techniques – dialogue, mime, slapstick and a touch of audience participation. The story is complex though never confusing. With so much going on, the timing has to be spot on and it pretty much is.   When the mystery seems to be solved, there is an added twist and a neat ending. The humour varies but the story bowls along at a cracking pace in a good natured way and their performance successfully draws you in to their make believe world. ***
