EDINBURGH 2017 - Review: ATTACHED, Underbelly
When we meet our two protagonists they are covered in Velcro and spend the first five minutes showing us exactly how funny that can be. I was quite sad that section only lasted five minutes as I thought there could have been more to do there.
Our duo are very talented circus performers who use seesaws in all shapes and sizes throughout the show to give some funny and breath-taking moments. There are lots of gasps to be had as we watch little and large try and complete the same type of high energy routines with varying results.
One criticism would be that most of the items covered felt a little predictable and the audience interaction was a touch dragged out. There are several moments where we are simply waiting whilst the duo set up the next portion of the show and perhaps technicians would be better at this while the performers... performed?
If you have small children this is definitely one to watch as the slapstick style of circus will definitely amuse, however if you have teenagers this may not be for them.
