Hello Dalai
Underbelly

Ignoring the hideous pun in the title is tricky but I'll try. This Boys-own style period comic drama initially promises much but falls just short of delivery. It follows the journey of a shy fiance who must travel from Edwardian London across the globe in a Zeppelin to meet up with her beau, but through a series of mis-adventures ends up stranded in Shangi-La. Cue a series of skits with varying comic value and the shoe-horning in of cultural cliches, mime and comic songs. This show could have been so much better but the cast were too busy showing us how talented and clever they could be to bother about the incoherence in much of the script. Never-the-less it has it's comic moments and is quirky enough to make an entertaining early evening diversion.

Shangri-La-la land.
