Someone organise a petition! It is my painful duty (this is so hard; I have been in denial all day) to announce the demise, the disintegration, the end of The Lonesome Buckwhips.

Sometimes infuriating yet very successful portrayal of inertia and vulnerability One of the most awarded shows of the 2010 Wellington Fringe festival, written by Eli Kent, this play about two guys called Eli and Jack, performed by two guys called Eli and Jack, is effectively a dissertation on apathy, disguised as a road trip.

Humorous, fanciful, short on tension and climax Not content with serving as the Butler in the eponymous other show by Joe Bennett in this Fuel festival, Tom Trevella follows it with this small delicacy for dessert: Stuck Up the Alley, by the same author. [more] |
