‘If it was a chocolate, it’d be something bittersweet’: AMERICAT – Tristan Bates Theatre
Not going to lie. This devised piece – which was 60 minutes straight through – was not what I was expecting. It can be quite difficult to critique such a short play, but I spent more time laughing at Americat than being emotionally moved as I had anticipated. (This was quite a relief!)
