Tim Fitzhigham - One4Review

Tim Fitzhigham has a fascination for quirky historical footnotes and recreating absurd journeys. When Shakespeare was writing his plays, the superstar comedy actor of Elizabethan times, Will Kemp, grabbed the best roles. Piqued that there was no comedy role for him in Hamlet, how did he express his disgust? He Morris danced his way from London to Norwich, 115 miles in 9 days. Inexplicable! This is the kind of challenge Tim Fitzhigham finds irresistible. Can a show that features Morris Dancing as the central theme work? Yes, and marvelously so. Firstly, he had to learn the techniques and there are many to be mastered. Dressed in the appropriate garb and with bells, he demonstrated the skills he has learned. He recounts his journey, blisters and all, with slides and film footage which enhance the humour. Stories and anecdotes are delivered with his accustomed fast and frenetic delivery. He is such an enthusiast. It is difficult not to be captivated and drawn into his bizarre world. ****
