Waiting For It

- RORY FORD

Sweet Grassmarke­t (Venue 18)

God’s holy trousers! Anyone unlucky enough to witness this farrago could be forgiven for thinking that they’d wandered into Hell’s annexe. Billed as a clown show, it features (“performed” would be really pushing it) Andrea Spisto and Alice Motta, as scientists plunged into a journey through time and space but, really, there isn’t the barest whiff of narrative. Spisto and Motta demonstrat­e a remarkable lack of chemistry with each other and have clearly mistaken “clowning” for moving about a lot and shouting.

Until 26 August. Today 2:25pm.
