| Description |
"It is really, really pushing it to designate The Show Must go On as dance, which is one of its delightful provocations. Many of the casually clad performers would fail a skin-fold test and although they do a highly credible macarena, the rest of the movement doesn't bother to rise to any kind of professional standard. Yet I have never been part of an audience more delighted with and engaged by a contemporary dance-theatre piece." |
