You can sit there all night thinking of the best way to describe Spymonkey’s Oedipussy, scratch your head and explain what you’ve seen in words that are both fitting to the company and the creators behind one of the great adaptations of Greek theatre. What it all boils down too, is that the team behind Spymonkey are pure and utter comic geniuses!

If a classic book is worth recreating on stage then it is worth doing absurdly and with much gusto and insanely as possible.
In all honesty, not even straight theatre would tackle Herman Melville’s classic Moby Dick without some trepidation and a crateful of memory loss inducing alcohol to forget the whole idea. It would be too overblown, expensive and almost impossible to re-create but such is the excellence of the four-strong cast that they were able to play nearly every part that was required of them with quickest of costume changes possible and with some of the greatest use of the imagination possible and not a quibble between them.
