A Review of 'Richard' (Ben Myers) by Justin Ehrlich
'No one wants to probe too deeply when death is involved lest they unearth something rotten.' Richard (Ben Myers)
Don't believe everything you read. Myers takes a scalpel to Richey Edwards and seemlessly splices reflections on the rise of the Manics with a fictionalised account of his last days. The subject matter evokes morbidity but the story is laced and elevated with humour, not least a dark humour underlying Richey's quarrels with an over-assertive inner critic. It reads very smoothly asking little of the reader carrying them effortlessly from start to finish.

Thoughts from the Fringe
An Imaginary History of Tango drags us through seedy discos and intellectual doldrums on our way to redemption through the senses. Anna's passion for tango is inspiring, and if she returns to the Fringe next year, I would like to see significantly more of the story told without words, because the sequences of dance/mime were the most effective episodes of the performance.
