Returning back by popular demand, Slavas Snow Show runs until the 6th January at the Royal Festival Hall. It has delighted audiences all around the world for almost 30 years now, however it may not have left the same affect on me.
The show has no narrative and is made up of sketches. I failed to see the links to the theme of the show, none of which were anything to do with snow or the festive season so why this is a Christmas must see is a mystery to me. The characters didn’t have enough for us to make a connection with; anytime we were close to, the sketch was over and it was time to see something else.
Clowning is such an impressive skill to master and its safe to say this set of performers have it down to perfection but I think what let them down was the scale of the theatre. It swallowed them up.
