Shakespeare For Breakfast

King Lear isn't one of the Bard's cheerier plays, but there's barely a laugh-free minute in this lively reimagining featuring five talented actors.

Taking the plot of Shakespeare's tragedy, the audience (munching on their complimentary croissants) are taken on a channel-hopping adventure which including Britain's Got Talent and How To Look Good Naked. The star of this 60 minutes of exhuberance is undoubtedley the spry Nathan James Plant, whose aping of daytime television host Jeremy Kyle is a comedic masterstroke.

The performance starts to run out of steam over the last quarter as the televisual references become increasingly stretched. But despite these minor issues, this is still a frothy breakfast treat sure to the morning off to a winning start.
