This is not a 'review' in the usually accepted sense! just some comments on a very funny play, very well done!

If you can, go and see Harbour Theatre's production of How the Other Half Loves an Alan Ayckbourn play, directed by Pat Barton, currently showing until the end of next week at Fremantle.

It's one of the most entertaining two and a half hours at the theatre that you will see this year!. No underlying messages, just sheer entertainment from a very energetic cast which had the opening night full house engaged from the opening minutes!

The couples, Bev Lawence & Kim Taylor, Jason Dohle & Emma Kenyon and Robert Whyte & Susannah Devenish kept up the hectic pace for the whole time. (And didn't the audience applaud when Jason's character got his come-uppance from his wife (Emma)!!

The joint dinner pary scene, staged simultaneously on the same set at two separate locations is an absolute joy (to see how they did it. get a ticket!)

A 'fish-and-chips' at Clancy's next door to start with and you're in for a thoroughly enjoyable night out!

Raynor. What planet are you on.

Mr Raynor I can't comment on the Show at 'Harbour Theatre'.. Most of the shows I have seen there have been good. But 'The Sum of Us' produced by the old Mill, was exceptional. Are you completely sure you actually went to the right theatre, were you in the same state/country as the rest of the us. The show was wonderful. And to complain about the food.. you misrable Sod. It's ashame you didn't choke on a clancey's fish bone. We can only wish. As much as I hate the WALTER people of this forum..And I bloody well do. Most of them are the same bloody person anyway. I agree with him. (No, I am not hiding behind a mask... My name is Ripper.. and no I'm not a blue heeler... I wouldn't sink so low though as to call you a nobody Mr Raynor.. And thanks Logos.. Love you too... What have I bloody done to you now. xx The Ripper 'He'll rip ya'
