Pleasance Dome    5 - 31 August @ 15.50    Pleasance

In an afternoon slot at the Pleasance Dome, this revue-style show is one for fans of the classic mode. There is no narrative here, but the musicianship is outstanding and played live (Hoorah!). I can't tell you the names of the cellist/pianist "back-line", but they are a superb mini-orchestra and the singers, Lindsey Danvers, Cassidy Janson and Stephen Wren are flawless.

Lyrics are by David Levin, and will remind you of Sondheim (no bad role model) and the excellent music is by no fewer than nine composers, including Sally Beamish. Check it out, if only because it's live!
