» Review: If That’s All There Is
Inspector Sands theatre group have a gift for making playfully experimental theatre out of populist scenarios. The multi-award winning ‘Hysteria’ followed the progress of a disastrous dinner date. Their latest, which previewed in Brighton before premiering at Edinburgh’s Traverse, concerns a couple of office workers nervously preparing for their wedding. Taking loose inspiration from the Peggy Lee song and littering the stage with popcorn, red wine and the contents of a paper shredder, it’s currently a wildly imaginative brainstorm of a show lacking the company’s usual physical acuteness. But as the bride attempts to photocopy her tears and the groom takes to plotting her behaviour via Powerpoint, they once again nail the neuroticism of normal life.
