A female trio perform a series of hammed up sketches intended to explore the relationship between women and food.
Using a mixture of physical theatre, sketches and music this production confounds its audience. Dont expect any narrative or coherence from this show. The few ideas that exist are over worked, tasteless and very thinly spread. A woman in her underwear, wearing a pigs nose and singing out of tune whilst wobbling about on stage, is a case in point. The show explores body image angst in rather obvious ways. It paints a depressingly shallow and inaccurate picture of woman past and present, and it will take far more than the seriously chanted verses to add depth to this work.
This piece of theatre is as puerile as the cheap gossip magazines that it pokes easy fun at. The two minute solo performance of eating packets of quavers can only be described as painfully dull and the Nigella Lawson dance and karaoke number did little to relieve the suffering. The banging house music from the show upstairs made me assume that other people in the Zoo Southside were having a good time. On a positive note the audio recording of a recipe played during one of the costume changes was at least informative and the show lasted a good bit less than the advertised hour.
The idea of watching three girls often scantily dressed and playing with food may sound appetising, but beware this show is indigestible and youll leave with a bad taste in your mouth.
