For just £5 (the show is part of the £5 Fringe), Seven Studies In Salesmanship offers seven short, well-crafted plays by local writers Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon.

Each play has a sales jargon tag as well as a title, such as Celebrity Endorsement and Captive Markets. They are all well observed and often hilarious examinations of human relationships, as seen through the prism of salesmanship, and each is very different from the one before.

There are simple, intimate situations as well as obvious sales scenarios, all containing the patter we know and hate.

The four actors – Dave Mounfield, Heather Urquhart, Daniel Beales and Jenny Rowe – play a variety of characters who show off their range of accents and ability to make a rudimentary set into a graveyard or a spaceship. Each gives an outstanding performance.

The final play, Big Data (tag “Relationship Close”), brings all four players together for a totally wicked and far-fetched selling concept that most estate agents will no doubt soon be practising.

There is a wide range of writing to enjoy and Brian Mitchell has directed the pieces in such a way as to reveal both the compassionate underbelly as well as the hard cynical skin of selling love, sex and fresh air.
