That's So GCSE

Please can we take a moment to congratulate these guys for coming up with a show concept that so immaculately sums up the name of their company, Good Bad Ideas. 'That's So GSCE' is a good idea because GCSE theatre is ripe for parody (think Brecht, heinous overacting, blackouts, whiteface, yet more Brecht). It's a bad idea because you can see real-life teenage theatre experimentalism pretty much anywhere else on the fringe line-up, not least at the notorious American High School Theatre Festival. But then again, making deliberately juvenile work makes you guaranteed critic-proof, and its running time is a teen attention-span-friendly 30 minutes. At a packed festival, that's a very very good idea.
