The Travelling Sisters Let Loose is an
eclectic 2-person show of original songs, personal stories, fantastical tales
and laugh-out-loud moments. The two actors and creators of the show, Lucy Fox
and Ell Sachs, threw heart, soul and a whole lot of energy into entertaining
their audience. They leapt from couch to table, flirted, chatted and sang for
our entertainment as we collectively inhabited their personal space.
The most enjoyable moments for me came
courtesy of Lucy and her alliterative original compositions. Her Tim Minchin
like lyrics told a tale cowboys, shamans, seas voyages and pirates accompanied
by delightful animation and Ell’s sound effects and well-captured characters. At
one point I thought the whole audience would be called upon to help Ell
construct a blanket fort, but it was only my wishful thinking.
If you like theatre with extras, this is a
wonderful show for you. Tea and coffee on arrival and delicious brownies for
sale, bags of popcorn when the film began and home-made biscuits at the
half-way point. There was even a friendly house cat for you to stroke, to
heighten the feeling of snuggling down in a dilapidated but welcoming
home.
The Travelling Sisters Let Loose is an
intimate performance, with only some 20 people allowed in to the living room to
get comfy on couches, armchairs and cushions.
The show is sold out for Friday 10 May but there are four more shows. Travelling
Sisters is a welcoming, personal, enjoyable show with a little something for
every audience member. Particularly enjoyable on a chilly night.
