Sunday evening I watched Jonathan Padget's musical version of "The Blue Lagoon" in the somewhat tight confines of the Playbill Cafe. It continues to amaze me how much these Fringe companies can do with very limited props & small spaces. An inflatable swimming pool, a toy boat, a drop cloth and two suitcases were used successfully to evoke drifting in a lifeboat on the open ocean and living as castaways on a desert island. (There was also an inflatable banana, but don't ask...)Jonathan's music and lyrics were great, and the cast(aways), Kathleen Mason & Matthew McGloin, sang them with aplomb. And they looked great in their bathing suits!
