Wonderfully weird madcap nonsense: imagine Monty Python staging a Victorian sitcom. I’m “biast” (pro): am enjoying the work director Mary Franklin is staging
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
I have not read the source material
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
My adventures exploring London’s creative fringe continued last weekend when I attended a performance of a new production from director Mary Franklin of theatre company Rough Haired Pointer. (I’ve previously reviewed her The Boy Who Cried and Cleopatra.) This time I discovered a new (to me) pub theatre, the The White Bear Theatre in Kennington, South London, a long-running and storied venue. It’s a fabulous little space at the back of a friendly, unpretentious neighborhood pub… and it’s precisely the sort of place that the comedic protagonist of The Diary of a Nobodywould be horrified to be seen in.
