The Great Unwashed

When Cav Gallagher writes or presents a play, you know that you are in for a good comedy with an original theme and plenty of new ideas - The Great Unwashed was certainly that!

The story is of the revenge by a group of 'Trekkie-types' led by Myra (Michelle Baginski - who just seems to get better with every play that she is in, a great talent) on the popular TV host Fenny (Angelique Malcolm - what a fabulous sense of humour).

Myra is aided by Roy (Jez Obern) who hasn't two brain cells to rub together and Jane (Olivia Hogan) the sane one - even though she wears weird make-up, beautifully done by David Hogan.

The three girls acting was superb, just the right amount of comic presentation without being over the top. Jez got the most out of his part, raising many laughs, yet if there was a weakness in the play it was possibly the script for his part. Having said that, the play was VERY well received by the audience, with many loud bursts of laughter. Opening nights an be a little difficult, but this will refine very quickly.

This play is worth seeing.

Welcome to the Blue Room staff Christina Critch, but don't give up your acting.
