» Review: The Penny Dreadfuls
Fringe staple, sketch trio The Penny Dreadfuls were in fine fettle, jumping from a brilliantly constructed and great opening sketch involving rhetorical questions, to a scene in which a doting father is creeped out by his prospective son-in-law. The show illustrated their fine writing – as they cast comedic gems as asides, and confident performance – most obviously being Thom Tuck’s incredible physicality as he morphed from a streetwise burger boy to a sensitive mother, but also David Reed and Humphrey Ker with less anarchy but equal believability. Entertaining, original and highly likeable.
