Big Bite-size Breakfast: Interpretations

It is rare to see a show that has an almost universal appeal. The audience for this ‘menu’ ranged from a rapt 3-year-old to a woman of 80 and everyone there was captivated by the selection of plays that combine comedy with a dose of unvarnished reality. Of special note was Becky Norris’s monologue ‘Valentine’s Day’ about a woman who receives a valentine from a most unusual stranger. Norris’s characterization is multi-faceted and believable, yet laced with dead-pan humor. Kudos to Nick Brice, Sam Holland and Sophia Wylie for their programming and expert direction. Once again they have given us a delightful and unforgettable morning.
