Review: THE WORM WHO TURNED, Oran Mor
Review of the latest offering from Glasgow's A Play, A Pie and A Pint
The Worm Who Turned is a new musical comedy written by Kim Millar with music and lyrics by Andy McGregor and directed by April Chamberlain.
Ford (George Drennan) and Jane (Helen Logan) are having a sordid affair on the allotments. Jane is friends with Ford's wife (Clare Waugh) but that doesn't stand in the way of their evening romps in the shed. They've concocted a plan to scam the other allotment owners out of their individual plots which are worth a lot more than they realise, sell the land to property developers and start a new life abroad.
The Worm Who Turned is a mini-musical full of deception and twists. It's funny, dark (the show blurb does state that we're in for 'marrows, murder and mayhem'!) and delightfully chaotic. I don't want to give too much away about the plot but it is entirely unpredictable.
The three-strong cast give terrific performances and the songs are fun and catchy. Millar's writing is excellent and witty throughout. The Worm Who Turned is joyous start to the theatre-going week!
