The horn section provides the highpoint of this album, they could have been lifted straight off a classic Otis Redding or James Brown album.
Review
A mélange of surrealism, slapstick humour, witty skits, clever songs and poignant monologues about life and accidentally eating one’s parents…
I reckon this one is particularly suited to the ladies; there was more than a little bit of mascara running from tears of laughter.
Nazeem feels comfortable on stage and his delivery is, most of the time, spot on.
Grant is very funny, an excellent musician, and it doesn’t hurt that he is incredibly attractive.
Welcome to the land of the disoriented and confused.
Russell Morris certainly crams a lot into a single hour on stage. His Spiegeltent performance on Friday night was a master class in professionalism.
Children left the show excitedly, having come as close as is possible with “real” dinosaurs.
Go Down, Moses is challenging, abstract theatre that demands something of the viewer, leaving us with much to puzzle over. It’s not an easy experience and it won’t be to everybody’s tastes, but the Adelaide Festival isn’t doing its job if it doesn’t try to expand our minds and push a few boundaries.
I expected much more, especially given the team who made it, and all the acting talent involved.
