The Amazing Banana Brothers @ Soho Theatre

July 26, 2024

An hour of absolute mania; this two hander (of sorts) is performed at a frantic pace from the moment it begins, so that even the quieter moments contain the air of mania. This is a story of two brothers with dreams, and whose inability to meet those dreams fills them with darkness. That sounds a lot more high brow than it was and yet despite being silly, slapstick, shouty (not in a bad way) and frenetic — it was introspective and questioned our own ambitions and the efforts we make to stick to them.

I can’t say too much without giving it away, but suffice it to say this isn’t light watching. Darkly funny, completely silly, and compelling — well worth taking the time to see this if it comes through.
