An alien from a distant, more technologically advanced, more evolved race comes to Earth to offer us the secret to ascending to a higher plane. All does not go to plan.
This was the second time that my wife and I had been to see Geraldine Quinn's show 'Stranger' having previously been during the Comedy festival. Since then Geraldine has been tweeking the songs and dialogue and the result is solidly entertaining.
It goes without saying that the woman can sing and write a good tune, but her sense of comedic timing is what makes this show. There are moments where she grimaces or glances sideways in a particular manner which have the audience giggling and laughing and are a real joy to behold. Her pratfalls jar perfectly with the self-proclaimed perfection of the character she is portraying and the way in which this character demonstrates their contempt and confusion for the foibles of we humans drives their development and foreshadows their undoing.
This show is worth going to to see multiple times and I would strongly urge anyone with an appreciation of musical comedy to do so.
