This is an ambitious performance of an absurdist comedy which has elements of the venerable radio comedy ‘I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again’. The three cast members are young enthusiastic performers and the play is a new piece of writing which pokes fun at bureaucratic double-speak. The action follows William whose life is tainted by red tape at school, at work and in job interviews with no chance of finding any way out of the various nightmares he faces in his life.
The script has many funny one liners and an occasional laugh out loud moment. However, as there are unexpected time shifts in the action and the delivery is so fast, it was often confusing as to what was actually happening on the stage. As a result, some of the humour is lost along the way but the cast grew in confidence as the play progressed which made it an enjoyable watch.
