Much acclaimed as a actor, writer even
musician Ryan J-W Smith creator of the much loved and acclaimed
Loves Labours Won is premiering his latest work in the Fringe this
year.
This show was originally set to play at The
Bongo Club while, the afore mentioned Shakespeare homage was on at
the Gilded Balloon. However due to company differences of opinion
his new piece is now playing at the GB while Loves Labours Won has
been cancelled.
In this one man epic written by, and
starring the man himself, Smith gives a extremely powerful
performance as a world leader leading his nation to war. Playing all
roles Smith’s own style is to the fore as this production,
obviously set in modern times and perhaps based around the USA’s
current administration, however the script is written in the almost
Shakespearian style that Smith excels at.
The performance, is both hard hitting, yet
humorous at times and gives ample scope for the talented all rounder
to showcase his writing and acting skill.
This is certainly not a lightweight ,fluffy
piece of theatre, it however is superbly performed throughout and is
something that I’m sure will further enhance Smith’s name in the
theatrical world.
