IMPORTANT NOTE: We cannot certify this reviewer attended a performances of this show because no ticket was purchased through this website or the producer has not verified they attended.

My overall impression

If you can suspend your belief for an hour, this show is worth going to. It’s a truly “surreal” play. Don’t expect anything psychological here – it’s more of a Charlie Chaplin kind of thing.

But there is one theme that is somewhat serious, and that’s how artists are often scorned in society. Dali obviously had his detractors. This show is almost a mockery of this theme – but I suppose that’s the point.

Expect some slapstick insanity and a lot of energy from the cast. Have a drink beforehand (you can do it at the theatre) and I think you’ll get an even bigger kick out of it.
