BRIG NEWSPAPER ★★★★★

The action begins before the performance at Swamplesque. 

First, there’s a very enthusiastic audience member, standing up and leading the growing audience through an impressive lip sync of the background music being played to warm the crowd up. 

Then, there’s the pre-show legal disclaimer, setting out how this show is totally, 100% not affiliated in any way with Shrek The Movie, Dreamworks or anyone associated with the movie. There has, quite seriously, been litigation about this. Apparently it’s all fine because it counts as Parody. It is certainly that. 

What this show is, is queer, body-positive burlesque and cabaret, with a very abridged version of the narrative of Shrek woven through it.
