Okay, I have to come clean. I am that person who cannot work out the physical mechanics of getting in or out of the back of a two door car. This may have contributed to my awe last night while watching the young people form human towers of one, two, three and ultimately four people high.

On the other foot, it was simply awesome.

Likewise the singers – all female – who moved around the stage from time to time but mostly lined the back. Great solo voices rising above the choral ones and all adding to the heightened sense of ‘will it work, won’t it?’

A fabulous evening supported by the government of South Australia through Arts South Australia and part of the UK/Australia Season 2021-2022 supported by the Australian Government and British Council.

Run ended. But check-out The Black Blues Brothers at the Assembly Rooms. Family member tells me this was also awsome and it runs at different dates and times throughout the Fringe – Brochure p 157
