Published: 2 August, 2012
THE Camden Fringe returns for its seventh year this week with more than 120 productions over the next four weeks, including opera, stand-up comedy and physical theatre. In order to cover as many shows as possible we will be posting 140-character micro-reviews on Twitter (@NewJournal) and also in round-ups here on the New Journal website.
Palimpsest One, Upstairs at the Gatehouse. Until August 2. Tom Nancollas writes: Palimpsest One @GatehouseLondon: Soured marriage, childbirth, beekeeping & extinction (that order) hit the spot in 4 macabre short plays.
Talk To Frank, Etcetera Theatre. Until August 4. Ruth Stivey writes: #TalkToFrank is a frenetic, filthy, fable with dizzy dialogue from @sjbarry1984 Hilarious but beware of coarse language, sex scenes + drugs
Is Anything Broken? (pictured) Tristan Bates Theatre. Until August 4. Lucy Danser writes: @IsAnythingBroke slick drama about career driven dad's dilemma. Strong direction&ensemble. Tad let down by weaker performances from leads.
