Edinburgh Fringe 2015. C Nova

This was an interesting script working on a good premise but it needs a little blue pencil - it would make a good one-act at around 45 minutes. There is effective dialogue here though it needs more light and shade in the direction, and a clever (if not wholly unexpected) twist. I'm still not quite sure why the "Kennedy" would have a liferaft with "Caroline" written on the side, nor why a ferry crossing would result in being stranded at sea for so long - but perhaps I am being churlish.

 Not a bad show in all, competently delivered and with some interesting features.
