Sheer Electricity




Once again arriving on the High Street like a force of Olympian Gods and Goddesses Livewire Theatre Company made their usual impression on the stages before us. This young athlectic vibrant cast pulled no punches as they fought to the death at every possible moment available to them.

Action, adventure and drama. It was all there to see. Whether commanding the telephone boxes on the Lawnmarket just beyond the High Street, or pouncing on every available stage that was devoid of performers in their time on the street. Cries of “The oddessey “ rang out loud and clear round the buildings and shops of the High Street.

On their last but one day their voices almost destroyed, I’d suggested a tablo with just visual impact without their cheers.
The impact just as strong and visually in my eyes more impressive; also easier to photograph than the sword play they perform with such ease on stage. Or it may have just been me being lazy.

But another year under their belt this young cast are now in the Fringe vetrans league. As always not to be missed on the High Street.
