Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea | 1927

It’s an ambitious project, but together with their vignette form, hauntingly delicate animated settings and Andrade’s grisly poetic tales they manage to pull it off.

Arlo Guthrie is a freakin' genius. I rarely resort to expletives, in reviews, let alone their Americanised cousins, but, since he peppers his banter with same, it seems oddly appropriate.

A farcical and highly improbable plot is served up through slapstick and mime to produce a very funny, fresh and inventive show.

Wayne Tunks has revived the 'wow' factor in his work. The Rules of April is a damn good title for what is, in the main, a damn good play.
