From Laurie Bursch, on behalf of theatreinlondon.ca:
“Oh, I hate theatre. All that talky-talky.”
For anyone who’s ever decried the lack of action in theatre, [They Fight] is for you. Seven action-filled fights, from Shakespeare to Slayer (as in Buffy). With Brian Brockenshire, currently THE fight choreographer in London, in charge of the on-stage mayhem, and great costuming by a Brickenden award-winning team, the talented cast provides an entertaining hour, with enough talky-talky to set the scene for the fight to follow.
There are a few stand-out performances, including those by Nic Bishop; and perhaps it’s all his time in period dress at the Palace, but Brandon Stafford looks like he was born to wield a sword.
As with any fireworks show, the closing piece is the climax. If only all bar fights were this much fun to watch. (No actors were injured in the making of this show.) (At least I hope not.)
From John Gerry:
“There is nothing I love as much as a good fight.”
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt ~What great fun Ceris.
Such a unique and inspired vehicle to showcase off so many different talents and natural abilities.
It truly incapsulates the spirit of the Fringe.
Congratulations to all.
