A woman and two men enter the space. She strips down to her underwear, and the men begin to move around her, adding and subtracting things from her mannequin-like body.

A Mistress, Black Magic, Adultery and a King with an anal fistula. This music theatre production appears to have it all, but the sad truth though is that despite some genuinely decent performances from the ensemble the piece as a whole was lacking.

Almost nothing could be considered too outrageous for this production, and it is an utter delight to watch.

There are scenes where the dynamic relationship between the actors is like watching the ABC’s Australian Stories, sadly this is not realised throughout the entire piece.

Two squabbling couples? Tick. Comical servants? Tick. Cantankerous rich father figure? Tick. Mistaken identity? Tick. Improbable plot? Tick. Borat’s mankini? …well, a tick for that too, actually!

A lavish feast for the eyes, ears and most definitely the funnybone, the deceptively simple yet thoroughly rich The Game of Love and Chance comes highly recommended.

Loosely telling the story of prince Pippin, the son of Charlemagne, and his somewhat picaresque journey through life, Stephen Schwartz’s 1972 Pippin is not your conventional musical.

Details: Brett Casben; 08 April 2007

The production as a whole failed to come up with the necessary edginess to create the threat, and the comedy had nothing to play off
