The premise of this play was set right at the beginning. Agnes and Janette were off on a bus tour of Scotland, a week of drinking and high jinks. This farce was played with great comic timing by Hillary Roberts and Laura Barnes. They complimented each other perfectly and the large amount of dialogue was well remembered and delivered.  The ladies travelled from Dundee to Inverness via Glasgow and the seaside experiencing performances, a hen party, a stripper club, a visit to a football match, murder mystery evening and a Tarts and Vicars evening. As you can imagine the opportunities for things to go wrong were ever present and well thought out.

The performance called for a lot of scene changes and they worked best when the split stage was used as it helped with the overall flow of the performance. The music used was catchy and added to the overall sense of fun of this play written and directed by Laura.

This is the second outing for Agnes and Janette and I wonder what they will get up to next. Whatever it is I’m sure it will be as funny as this trip and I certainly will be looking forward to seeing it.

Well done Ladies!
