This wonderfully funny and inventive show is the story about the passengers on a flight from Heathrow to LAX.
The two performers multi-role throughout, bringing to life ten characters, all well defined and struggling with their own stories. There are unexpected friendships, general shenanigans and the obligatory poorly parented children.
The simple set allows the characters to morph seamlessly between scenes whilst the welcome from the cabin crew is a great well of bringing the fun to life.
It is a pleasure to see something that is brand new and relies entirely on the talent of the cast members without additional set, props or anything that distracts from the central performances.
Fresh !nk! are a new company set up from friendships at drama school, to achieve ownership and control over their work and visions for the future of emerging talent.
Without doubt, there will be much more from the team behind Cabin Fever in the future and their tour schedule is already busy including the renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival in the summer and a venue in the USA later in the year.
These two young performers are on a mission and it is well worth catching up with them if you are able.
