Intermission

“If burlesque is the next big thing, then this is its sad-eyed antithesis, as all the brittle, bitchy desperation of backstage life is thrust in front of the tattiest of curtains. (A) highly complementary piece of low-life ambition gone wrong.”

The Herald

“… a double-act life cycle of regret and missed opportunities that has some of the funniest killer put downs I've heard in a long time…The comedy on show is superb…. there's a genuine spark of creativity here you cant help but warm to.”

The Metro

“… a study of male-female variety double-act gradually falling apart under the pressure of history, memory, and some kind of eternal principle of decay…Julie Brown and Johnny McKnight make their central metaphor work beautifully, exploring the whole idea of couple-relationships as performance in a way that recalls the desperate public smiles of power couples down the ages.”
