City Limits - Dave Hill
Set in a time-warped Deptford boozer, Labelled with Love's success as a fun piece of musical theatre is a tribute firstly to Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford's mastery of a neglected pop style, and secondly to a vibrant cast who sing, dance and act with tremendous zest. Alison Limerick as the embattled partner of the house band's would-be star is particularly good. It's a tale of the impatience of youth, the regrets of middle age, the impact of change on both and finally, the need for people to stick together. Sentimental? Sure. But who cares? A thoroughly local scene at a proudly local theatre, this East Side Story is of value to all.
