Festival! 5

What a mother of a show Festival 5 is. A Bad Mother in fact is the title of Meryl O’Rourke’s show which the critics in Edinburgh said was nearly perfect but Meryl thinks we should probably take out the word nearly and we agree. There’s more fab female comedy from Peep Show’s Isy Suttie who charms Vicky Nangle our entertainments editor.”When I’m sad and weary, when I think all hope is gone, when I walk along High Holborn, I think of you with nothing on.” More fun poems from Poems to Share at Brighton’s Little Theatre. The Corrie killer Richard Hillman alias actor Brian Capron goes from Soaps to Serious, playing Gogol at The Latest Music Bar and Andrew Kay goes to see Trisha Brown, Dreamthinkspeak, Interiors, Motor Show and Land’s End. When does he sleep? Lynn Ruth Miller stays wide awake to present this mother of a show.
