I don’t know… you wait all week for some political satire then two of them come along at the same time. Next up is the Cambridge Road Players’ production of Hillary’s Kitchen, at the Grand theatre @ TheSpace at Surgeon’s Hall, at 22:15 on Tuesday 21st. Here’s the blurb: “Hillary Clinton and other influential women from history sit at her kitchen table in the days following the 2016 presidential election result, drowning their sorrows in chardonnay and trying to work out where it all went wrong in this Fringe debut comedy from playwright Emily McDermott. Join these women as they discuss the state of the nation’s politics and attempt to navigate the world of the bedroom, the boardroom and the downstairs toilet for the twenty-first-century woman. In vino veritas!”

For this to work, I guess the impersonations and the script both need to be spot on. If they are, I predict a riot! I love the idea that the great and the good all sit around in Hillary Clinton’s kitchen. Smacks of Caryl Churchill’s Top Girls? Check back around 11.30 pm to see how good it was. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

It is a 70 minute play, but we, along with six other audience members left halfway through because we’ve never seen such a poorly written, poorly acted play – apart from the actor playing Virginia Woolf, you were excellent. Words fail us. Even if the rest of it were to have picked up enormously, life’s just too short.
