Scotch and Soda
Spiegeltent, Wolf Tone Square
***
The Spiegeltent returns, and with the sort of Australian circus cabaret act that many have come to associate it with. Scotch and Soda, from Company 2, is a blend of physical prowess and humour, trapeze and tease. Hands get increasingly complex stands; rickety boxes are stacked into precariously climbed pyramids; bicycles are cycled with bodies piled high; and a very sweet section involves some birds almost stealing the show. The Crusty Suitcase Band whip it along with a high-tempo mix of klezmer, jazz and music hall towards a grand finale of dramatic flips and leaps. Those of who have seen Circa's Wunderkammer or former Fringe favourites La Clique might find these tricks a little tried and tested, but if this is your first Spiegel rodeo, then roll up, roll up, and hold on to your hats.
Until September 19th
