An adequate abridgement of boarding school life as a homo

Seen at the Edinburgh Fringe, Just the Tonic Caves

This is a gem. Funny, tragic and beautifully performed. Despite technical problems, the two actors relished the comedy and delighted in several cheeky twists in the story. As Johny Eccles, this actor drove the show with excellent timing and a glint in his eye telling his experience at school. He also has a flair for movement. The other actor played all the other characters with subtle changes which meant we never doubted which was which. His delicate playing contrasted Harry and Sam so convincingly. Simple, effective staging introduces us to many areas within the school. Killer laugh lines build to a gentle, sympathetic resolution. Catch it quick!
