Game?- Norden Farm

You don't usually hear kids laughing in the theatre.

But schoolchildren at Norden Farm greeted a performance by theatre group Tangled Feet with raucous hoots.

The four young performers were at the Maidenhead venue with their latest show, Game?, a dissection of bourgeois dinner party mores.

The set-up ­ two neighbouring couples getting to know each other ­ was merely an opportunity to puncture this stuffy world with a mix of crude humour and slapstick, with a heavy emphasis on the absurd and physical theatre. Familiar scenarios dissolved into increasingly outlandish displays of dancing, mime and other abstract acts that brought out the characters' churning emotions.

The emphasis on play-acting and deconstructing social situations culminated in an outrageous turn by host Tony as he made evermore lewd gestures towards tarty guest Franky, to Guns 'n' Roses' Paradise City, that drew both guffaws and gasps of shock from the audience.

Puerile, occasionally haphazard, but always entertaining, Tangled Feet produced another hour of insightful, glorious fun.
