Cirque de Legume

Winner of the Bewley’s Café Theatre award at last year’s Fringe, this is a lot of fun, though if you don’t like onion, be warned, there’s a lot of it flying around at the end of the show. Jamie Carswell and Nancy Trotter are 2 hapless red-nose clowns on a mission to create circus out of a box of old veg. How about that, they mumble, as a lettuce barks and slobbers like a dog, or a pair of leeks whip up the antics of a prancing dressage pony. Who would ever have suspected the cutting edge of a red chilli or the hypnotic powers of a beetroot, not too mention the decidedly risqué revelations at the heart of an onion. Some delightful slapstick, though there is the occasional longueur, and it’s all accompanied by a hearty vegetable soup. Lunchtime @Bewleys until Sat 12 June. www.bewleyscafetheatre.com
