Screwmachine / Eyecandy - One4Review

The team behind last year’s critical success Fatboy come together again for this C.J Hopkins written play. Directed by john Clancy, and featuring David Calvitto as Big Bob, Nancy Walsh and Bill Coelius as the contestants Maura and Dan Brown and Mike McShane as the Lovely assistant Vera there is talent in abundance on stage. Big Bob runs a popular TV game show, and Maura and Dan are his contestants. He is initially patronising and somewhat diva like as he ridicules them, pushing them as far as he can. But then it gets surreal, and for me all the quality of the first stage is undone as it degenerates into mindless violence, as ‘there are no rules edict really kicks’ in and I mean really. This was a well-acted piece throughout, however I really enjoyed the first 45 minutes and hated the last 30. ***
