So Spymonkey is a critically acclaimed comedy troupe are they?
This is the first time I've seen a piece of theirs and I'm unimpressed
And only about 25% of the audience are laughing out loud. The rest (including a secondary school class) are merely chuckling or watching stoney silent. At least from what I could tell looking round from the front to pass the time
I don't know whether this group is showing their age or simply this show is meandering along with no real focus than to go through all of Shakespeare's onstage deaths through a bunch of skits
Some bright moments including the four hitting each other with assorted tubes acting as swords to make some popular tune
There's this use of a fly cam (a camera following this fly on a stick)
There is some nudity in this and some gratuity
Not as bad as some other comedy plays I've seen this year but really what's so great about this group. I can get slicker slapstick from the play that goes wrong lot
Oh and Spymonkey get your facts right. John Talbot died in Henry VI Part 1 not Part 2
