Today’s review:

The Health Lovely Ladies Exercise Studio for Maximum Sex Attraction

(The Fumballinas)

Linda Margaret Curran’s review: The healthy lovely ladies take a pot shot on new age spirituality and the consumerisation of happiness in this interactive performance. Under the guise of an exercise class the audience are taken into the bizarre world of whaleology. The troupe blend yoga and a clowning style throughout the show, and there are some strong elements of comedy in the script. The performance was definitely unique, a little off-kilter and plenty of fun. If the remaining show wasn’t sold out I’d definitely recommend people give it a whirl for something a little less ordinary. And for all those who did secure tickets, you’ll have a whale of a time!

In three words? Quirky. Bizarre. Satirical.
