Constantinople
Completely ridiculous and unexpectedly educational
This article is from 2011.
Theatre Beating’s lunatic dramatisation of the rise and fall of Constantinople is like a great pop song; it thrives on the tension between being completely brilliant and also very, very stupid. The jokes are consistently from the daft end of the street, but the physical skill, total commitment, wide-eyed affability and sound research of the Kiwi performers give the show unlikely wings. Wisely silly, ridiculously funny and unexpectedly educational.
