As the full-time alter-ego of an earnest and unassuming Waiter, Vaginus Hemmingway has his work cut out trying to find excitement and dignity in the plodding miasma of day-to-day life. With songs, dancing, tasteful mime, tasteful striptease, tasteful flashback, tasteless storytelling and more, he and his Waiter attempt to make sense of the fact that the Apocalypse appears to have interrupted their time on Earth just as it was all getting interesting. A fantastical, disturbing and entertaining world awaits you at the Cabaret Rathole, on the brink as we are of the End of Time: enjoy it while you can!
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
