Review of Chav Scum Kills God
 | "Devilishly funny comedy. Go see!" by Catherine Balavage on 14/11/08 |
Full of witty dialogue and sparkling observations. The story of a chav sent as a suicide bomber from, literally, hell to kill God. It's not like anything I have seen before and I think the play is a tremendous achievement.
I was very impressed that the audience was a young crowd. Although there were some older people, I have never seen so many teenagers in one theatre. They all loved it. During the interval and at the end there was nothing but praise.
This play is also about a social demographic we don't usually see on stage. Working class people. With accents. I found this as fresh as the writing. It is lovely to see stories about people from all walks of life.
All the actors were absolutely amazing. Professionals at the peak of their skills. Michael Lindall as 'The Other' is an actor completely in control of his craft. I predict big things to happen very quickly for him. It is however hard to pick only one actor out of all of these wonderful performers.
The set was also top - notch. Just perfect for the show but also quite simple. Every involved in this production should be very proud. This is the best Fringe show I have seen this year. And it's November.
See it for the scene where they rewind, or the writing, or the amazing actors but do see it. It would be a sin not to.
