Set in the city of Crease, it plays out as an action movie where the hero of the city, "Jeremy Irons," is called upon to save the day.
Every other character is an ironing board in a costume, and we see them become everything from love interests, villians, and babies being birthed before our very eyes.
The play is fun, but I found myself getting a little tired of the constant voice-over changes, various bits from action films being played out, feeling like the play seemed to be one long-winded skit.
The show could be great if it was tightened a little and if Jeremy Irons had some more speaking lines. However, it did still have its high points, one being when a member of the audience became a wild lion that Jeremy Irons battles with, another being a lightsaber battle with one of the ironing boards, also some stellar ironing board dancing.
I found myself wanting a little more from this show, but it was still a fun time with a lot of laughs, and the audience enjoyed it greatly.

I hope you all find a wacky show to see at fringe, and I hope you have a fantastic fringe!
Love,
