A joy to watch with clever and witty observations of disco and 1980s culture. As a witness to those times, I can say the cast had the parodies spot on. And the audience who were far too young to have experienced either loved them too. The cast have real energy and know how to tell a fast-paced story and get laughs without the benefit of any props other than a wooden box. Each of them inhabited several characters and performed them all with skill. It's obvious they enjoyed putting on the show and their hard work has paid off. They really showed the "Spirit of the Fringe" and the World needs more youngster like them. Wishing them all great success in their future careers whether in acting or whatever they choose.
