As a last minute choice to go and see a show, I went for this one as it was close where I happened to be in London, cheap, and they had tickets! Whilst the first half is an interesting piece of theate in the way it explores the theatrical world, it doesn't live up to the hype and promise of the billboards and the history associated with the show. However, in the second half it more than lives up to its reputation, and you are quite literally exclaiming "Oh my God!" and worse every 5 minutes. What is amazing is that a medium which you no longer believe possible to be capable of shocking an audience in the days of CGI horror movies manages to do so, but not only once, but again and again and in quite bowel-weakening force. The surge of emotion almost led to a tear when the culmination of the story is reached, and as a member of the audience I felt strabgely proud that a mere two actors could pull off such an impressive and frightening show. 12.50 well spent.
