Groan Ups – Vaudeville Theatre (September 2019)

I saw the Saturday matinee on 28 September 2019. This is the latest offering from the Mischief Theatre Company and is very funny. It was also good to see the original members of the Company performing in London again. The play focuses on a group of 5 school friends through primary, secondary and a school reunion. It was funny to see how the adult actors are made to look small with the giant props at the start of the play, and there are laughs throughout, building up to most farcical parts near the end of the play.

The play has only been on for about a week, and the rest of running time was longer than the 2 hours 20 given in the programme – it was close to 2 hours 40, but this was possibly due to the amount of laughter from the audience.
