The venue Worbey and Farrell play in looks like it is reserved for an austere classical performance, with the solemn black piano dominating the stage. This show is much more than a recital, though. Messrs Worbey and Farrell bounded onto the stage, instantly winning over their audience with easy, confident familiarity and deadpan, slightly camp humour. They are musicians first and foremost, however, with more than enough talent to match their showmanship. Looking every inch the consummate performers, the pair delivered piece after sparkling piece on the piano, infusing each one with physical comedy and flair. It would be fair to assume that a show like this might drag after a short time, but in the preternaturally gifted hands of these two pianists, it entertains from start to finish.
Worbey and Farrell played a variety of piano duets throughout, ranging from classical pieces, to their own interpretation of contemporary chart songs, to even their own compositions. They also showcased various sound effects which a piano is capable of producing (Doctor Who, anyone?). They push their instrument to its absolute limit and the camera filming their hands would seem to show a musically gifted octopus playing the keys, rather than pianists you see in front of you. It is said that a good performer uses all the stage - these two certainly use all of their piano.
