Plays about fandom are as old as the hills and they represent a fantastic way for each generation to put their take on their society. The prime of Miss Jean Brodie with its admission of admiration for Franco utilised a long standing tool for getting a point over and scoring a point or two is what Harry does in abundance. Harry will appeal to Bay City Roller fans as much as Josef K or Scars fans, to those who liked Orange juice and possibly even Edwin himself! The play's comedic strength lies in the dialogue which rivals some of the best you'll hear as the rhythm is drummed out at a fierce and festive pace. The buzzcocks and undertones had a great turn of wit and if you like a 2 minute pop song some of the soliloquies will tickle your ribs. The darker side is never far away and as mentioned previously on this site the, the darkness does make the play. This all woman production has already made a few must see lists, I concur. A great way to spend your lunchtime during the festival.
