Honor and Patrick decide to cull their Facebook friends. In the process the audience are taken through a wild 70 minutes of the worst excesses of social media, in what would have to be the most energetic performances in town.

The Very Good Looking Initiative present this fascinating and cleverly crafted show. While the story is great, and the performances excellent, the best part of this show is the extreme energy and enthusiasm of performers Patrick Durnan Silva and Honor Wolff, who get barely a second’s rest in this high powered show.

The sexier sister to Impromptunes - The Completely Improvised Musical, The Bachela-la-la is a naughty late night improvised musical based on The Bachelor/The Bachelorette franchise. Aimed at adults, the audience are kept laughing from the time we meet the contestants until the moment that a ring is placed on the winner’s finger.

SUGAR is a very pink, very sweet, celebration of a performance, which beneath its sugary surface deals with important issues of anxiety, self esteem and the pressures faced by young women.

Central character Sugar (a picture perfect and delightful Claire Thomas), is feeling rejected, anxious and alone after a really disastrous party. She turns to the internet for help and finds “The Fixits”, a latter-day Spice Girls on steroids, who promise that they can fix any problem.

A few years ago I was discussing the television show Amazing Race in theatrical company, and it was noted that the Amazing Race was extremely popular amongst “theatre people”. Various theories were tossed around as to the reason for the correlation. Based on that discussion, I might suggest that readers of Stage Whispers are very likely to love The Obscure Tour.
