SEX AND VIOLENCE AT THE FANTASY CAFÉ
Demarco European Art Foundation, Edinburgh
August, 1993

The title says it all, really. The young company revels in pulling an audience up short in mid-cackle, playing gleefully with shock and surrealism as if they were new toys. From a transvestite buggery fantasy to a little ditty entitled "I'm Over the Moon About You" sung to a bare bum, the cast charge at their spectators' composure like stud bulls in a tea-room. Occasionally they foul up, but the show moves so fast that its mistakes seldom catch up with it.
