HIPPOS IN THE SHOWER * GEORGE SQUARE THEATRE (VENUE 37)
IF THERE were stars for niceness of cast and goodness of aims, this would be a four-star show. But there aren't and it isn't. A huge cast from Belfast in a "hippy-trippy" tale of love, shipwreck and hippos. Decades of The Troubles gave us Behan and O'Casey. A few years of peace cough up this. Makes you revisit the role of trauma in great art.
