A Hip Hikers Guide To The Galaxy

Prince Harian and his underling Minge have landed on Earth from another world. We have one hour to find the owner of an ethereal voice as a mate for the Prince. While waiting for someone else to find to find his dream girl the Prince spends the hour bullying and physically assaulting Minge, encouraged by the musicians on stage (and the laughter of their friends in the audience). Then the Prince discovers Minge is the girl of his dreams and beds her; they have a child and he continues to bully and belittle her. The end. 

This performance appeared loosely scripted and seemed poorly rehearsed, with performers talking over each other at times. There were songs, both original and borrowed, some well sung, some less so. There seemed to be little character development and a disappointing plot resolve.

If you are in to 1980’s undergraduate humour then this is for you, but as one character put it succinctly – I can’t forget all the degrading silly stuff.
