Re: Sex, Drugs and Self Control: RECONCEIVED
Sat, 6 Dec 2003, 05:25 pmYes Craig it was an excellent show. About a couple of dozen of the best sketches from the three earlier show series.
The different acts were written by the individual members of the cast, some worked very well, a couple 'ticked over'. It was obvious that for some of the younger innocent members of the audience that the whole point - if that is the correct expression - of 'The Country Women's Fisting Association' was lost.
Some very funny parts. All the cast are well known for their quality comedy acting - execpt perhaps Heath Miller (last year's Romeo - Shakespeare in the Park) proved his comedy talent and timing.
The song's lyrics and music were amazingly clever.
One small problem, how long can the audiences take this type of humour? Ben Elton started with the 'Young Ones' (cf 'Across hellfire') and then moved on to 'Black Adder' in its several periods in time and with a different slant to each historic guise. Perhaps Luke Milton should be looking at a slightly new outlook or approach. No complaint whatsoever, he is brilliant, only concern that audience interest may flag.
Great show, but accoustics in Rechabites as poor as ever.
