The season has ended for this show at #fringeworld #fringeworld2018 #perth but Soothplayers deserve a huge mention for their hilarious ability to pick up on the most banal (or should that be anal?) suggestions from the audience. A medical student was chosen from the shouted suggestions "The Tribulations of Dyschezia" and after being prompted by the main Soothplayer for the meaning of the word, the Soothplayers let rip with a positive stream of fecund creativity.
Plop, John, Bucket and other characters fertilised our imagination with the terrible rivalry between two Mayors of towns linked by a river. Mylantia and Arnot, with a blockage in trade constipating the prosperity of both towns.
Although hilarious what's pretty darn cool about the whole thing are a) the whole thing is improvised and very immersive and b) the real Shakespeare tropes - disguises that anyone should be able to see through, letters, plots, kinda gravedigger scenes, misunderstandings and they're just throwing it all out there and it's very, very Shakespeare!
10 out of 10 Hilarious, and watching the cast of Clue performing The Scottish Play for laughs on the Sid and Nancy Scale.
