Amazing versatility of Sheffield one-man show
Review: I'm full of awe for Neil Gore at pulling off such a great and complicated show, his one-man adaptation of the much-loved socialist novel The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, depicting life for workers in Edwardian England.
Neil could have made life easier for himself with a simpler show but he pulled off a great performance while changing scenery and lighting, running magic lantern slide shows, doing magic tricks and playing three instruments!
The various characters were deftly created with a change of hat or pipe and a bit of characterisation.

A fantastic evening's entertainment all round in the intimate surroundings of the Lantern Theatre, Nethwer Ege, Shefield.
