âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ - 'EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A CHRISTMAS OFFICE PARTY WRAPPED UP IN A BOW'
Tonight, we were kindly invited to the Press Event for the new production of Deck The Stalls at The Riverside Studios in Hammersmith, London. This production takes you on one hell of a ride and all in 60 minutes.
We knew that this was a one woman show, regaling the trials, tribulations, and hilarity that can all be created on one night at any office Christmas party, but we never expected that.
Lydia Kavanagh's writing creates so many memorable characters, and no matter where you work, some incredibly relatable ones. Her at times brutal honesty allows you to envelope yourself in the narrative, and from the constant laughs from the audiences, we have met a middle management Maddison. Kavanagh has created a narrative that everyone can enjoy and a central character that the audience not only believes in but can empathise with throughout.
Laura Rea was simply superb. Her ability to negotiate character, narrative, and keep an audience engaged was a breath of fresh air.
Rea took every nuance of the script and created an anti-christmas show, which we hope will become a staple of the festive season to come.
If you love laughing at the misfortune of others whilst having a little heart, warmth, and a little sprinkle of festive cheer, this is the show for you.
It plays at The Riverside Studios until the 24th of December, and you can find full venue and ticketing information by following the links below.
