Feb. 5th, 2009 06:16 pmSkin Deep (Operetta with book by Armando Iannucci): forgettable- as in, coming out of the theatre, I didn't have any hummable tunes in my head. Composer fail.
Plot, loopy to insane (the bit where two women come out of surgery and have had each other's faces put on? I had a programme and still found it massively confusing); characters, variously unpleasant, gormless or both (except the undercover journalist for Glamour TV, of all unlikely people); second act, entirely pointless. (Srsly, I think the whole of it could have been put across in a ten-minute Act One Scene Two.) I quite liked the ending- the actual end, I mean, not the daft bit with all the youth-seekers having an epiphany. Overall, 2.5/5.
It was being filmed for BBC 3, so at some point everyone will have the chance to massively disagree with me.
