EDINBURGH 2010: BWW Reviews: SWING! (Gilded Balloon)
By: Carrie Dunn
For a mid-afternoon show, Swing! is surprisingly racy stuff, set in suburbia and centring around the forthcoming junior tennis championships.
Will the club president's son win yet again (for what seems to be the tenth year in a row, if the honours boards are to be believed)? Will any of the tennis mums manage to seduce beefcake coach Neil? And just what is being done with those mini-quiches behind the club's closed doors?
Funny, saucy and thoroughly entertaining, a better performance space allowing for more innovative direction would have served this show well (and certainly this reviewer - little leg-room and a stuffy venue makes for an uncomfortable viewing experience) - expect to hear more of Swing! soon.
