Queen of the Nile @ Hull Truck Theatre


Back in the 80's we saw Hull Truck on a number of occasions in London, Bush Theatre and Donmar Warehouse spring to mind and under Terry Godber the material was sharp and funny. So was pleased to be told that our hosts had obtained tickets for a performance. 
Decent new theatre in the centre of Hull all promised well but thats where it ended. Some funny lines, a good number of obvious funny dialogue but otherwise flat. The last month or so have become adicited to The Big Bang Theory and that is so well scipted it puts most into the shade, and for Queen of the Nile, that wit and sharpness just put a sandstorm over this production.

5.5/10
