Performed by the KGS Performance Group, The Game of Life was a series of sketches about life and some of its absurdities.

The KGS Performance Group consists of four pupils from Kingston Grammar School, managed and promoted by their Drama teacher. Whilst the pupils were clearly talented and their insights (given their ages: sixteen/ seventeen) remarkable, the show needs to go back to the classroom for more work. The punch lines took so long to be delivered that the joke was lost. A joke about commuters started out funny but was lost with excessive repetition of the same point. Some adjustment and it could be a great sketch. Similarly, a sketch centrered around cheese about the ridiculous nature of bureaucracy became tired with the repetition of the same point. It was a good effort by pupils in the middle of their exams and cheered on by fellow classmates and friends. However, it was not a show for which I would have been happy to pay. |
