Groan Ups Lite Review

I've been advised that my reviews are too long, so if you're not willing to read the full-length 4500-word review (BEWARE OF SPOILERS), here's a bite-size edition. Groan Ups is a great show, and, like their other performances, a  technical triumph . Mischief Theatre brings its signature brand of slapstick and clever humour into a brand new show.

'Lite' review for people who don't like essays (no spoilers) Obviously MAJOR SPOILER WARNINGS for Groan Ups Brief for a normal theatre review: see the show, turn 100 ish words the next day for publishing in newspapers/online etc. Brief for MY theatre reviews: Take as long as you like, write 1000+ words with frequent links to usually vaguely related sites, go off on l
