It's on until 26th March if you are interested.
Now, it's obviously not directly linked to animation and I'm not going to sit here and give it a review, but it did involve two relevant ingredients:
1. It consisted of 5 short stories.
2. The stories were told in very bare surroundings with very few props.
The performance was good and some of the short stories were less predictable, grueling, nasty or interesting than others, but the key point from the evening is that if a story is clever enough or gripping enough or unpredictable enough then no amount of trimmings or detail can make it any better. I you have a sound story then yes I believe it can be embellished upon, and the overall style in which it is presented can then become just as important or iconic as the story itself.
If you fancy a short (it's only about 80 minutes long) and relatively bizarre night out then I'd recommend it, but don't go expecting James and the Giant Peach. (Especially the scene where one guy bets his little finger being chopped off for a chance to win another guys Cadillac).
Ever felt the need for someone to warm your toilet seat for you?
No they're not singing, they're about to chop off a finger for a bet.
