Ultimately, if one is honest, there’s an element of debate about what it all amounts to as there is little analysis or obvious point where the stories intersect beyond the initial starting point of extremism. But there’s such energy on display and it is just so intensely funny that this never struck my mind whilst I was watching the show. And on reading the programme with their explanation of why the company has decided to tackle political theatre for the first time, it becomes apparent that their rationale for the piece is about theatrical invention and the infusion of comedy into a dark subject – they are ‘not setting out to...deal with a particular issue’ and you know what, it really doesn’t matter because they achieve what they have set out to do with great flair, pulling together such disparate material into a flamboyantly cohesive whole and making the audience howl with laughter.
