Graeme of Thrones - The Lowry, Salford, review

If the current weekly doses of Westeros are no longer able to quench your thirst for drama and action from the Seven Kingdoms then be sure to make your way to see Graeme of Thrones. This hilarious production is both a homage and a parody of the original HBO series and an absolute must for those with a barmy sense of humour and a fondness for the original series.

The only real dud of the dozen, Libby Northedge and Nina Smith embraced the dark spirit of David Lynch, though aren't as funny. They seem very pleased with their weirdness, a self-consciousness at odds with other surreal acts who tend to have playful fun with the lack of boundaries. Instead, this seems to be uncomfortable for its own sake. The pair, who have an aggressive, dysfunctional relationship, are charged with getting a church ready for the Christmas Eve service, but mess it up.
