Instant Order – Trial By Audience (Vicious Fish Theatre / PBH’s Free Fringe)
By Kayleigh Head | Published on Friday 16 August 2013
‘Instant Order’ is an engaging improv show where the audience are the jury in a courtroom. They are given the task of solving a murder case, which is acted out by the performers. The audience suggest a location, an animal and a children’s toy, and the performers must incorporate these ideas into the show, whilst creating characters and scenes to build up the murder plot. Although the performance wasn’t side-splittingly funny, the actors managed to create several humorous and imaginative story lines, characters and scenes. The audience were eventually given the duty of scouting out the murderer to be sentenced, using their detecting skills to decide who is guilty. This is a fun, family-friendly and creative improv show.
The Dram House, until 24 Aug (not 6,13) 3.45pm.
