The plot races along at the speed of sound, playing with a bizarre amalgamation of Victorian dialogue and modern vernacular. For what must have been an exhausting tongue-twister of a performance, the energy was kept high throughout. However, sloth-brained as I am, the production could have benefitted from more changes of pace, as I found myself sometimes losing entire sentences to the racy metre.
