Bosom Buddies (Jack Klaff)
By Ella Fryer-Smith | Published on Tuesday 16 August 2011
Wow! This is one impressive one-man show. Never before have I seen an actor sustain so many different characters in intensely detailed conversation with one another as well as with the audience. Klaff plays an exhaustive list of well-known (as well as less well-known) personalities – including Jung, Freud, Gandhi, Jackie Kennedy and Churchill, to name but a few – in this intricate performance boasting some very witty moments. This is not the kind of show to go and see after a heavy night; you will certainly need your wits about you in order to keep up with it all. However, if you are looking for some intellectual stimulation and an amazing one-man performance, this is the show for you.
