Review by Steve Bennett

Elizabeth Mee admits she’s a stereotype: middle-aged and upper-middle-class, she’s Radio 4 in human form, and makes predictable references to Agas and children named Hermione.

Though inexperienced, she’s an elegant performer, with a warm RP accent that could guarantee her a career as a voiceover artiste, and a poised, controlled delivery. Stylish gags pepper the set, if not quite frequently enough, but the writing lacks depth, neither advance nor subvert her personality beyond the obvious caricature. But it’s a good starting point.
