The Will by David Doyle
The Will is billled as a ' 2-man comedy play with a touch of
music.' This is an understatement as this new piece by David
Doyle is an hour choc full of cabaret and comedy, farce
and and pop culture pastiche.
Father Howard (Kevin Potton) and Doctor Donald (David Doyle) meet up to read at midnight the will of an old colleague.
We are taken on a ride through each characters neuroses, from espionage secrets in Serbia to disillusionment with their present careers, all sprinkled with song and dance routines.
The Will has laugh out loud moments, Doyle and Potton have good voices and nice comic timing. With first night nerves overcome some some gags could do with speeding up to reduce their repetitiveness. The nods to popular sayings and past comedy greats are a nice touch.
Doyle's text is certainly linguistically challenging for the two actors and they pull it off with aplomb.
