Spot the cliché was no challenge watching this show, shockingly laden with stereotypes and attitudes older than the performers themselves.

It was quite depressing to watch young people – obviously enjoying their art and not without skill – trot out one-dimensional characters like the manager on a training course harking back to the 1980s, a "career woman" heading to work with take-away coffee in hand and, worst of all, a girl revealing she was pregnant to a boy asking her what she was going to do about it.

Had this been an end-of-term production to show off performers’ physical theatre skills, it would have met the spec: the opening scene where the company moved together like a wave symbolising a sleeping city was promising; a scene in a coffee shop was amusing and colourful, and well thought out.

But advertising blurb describing the show as "compelling" created an expectation which was never going to be met here; to say it was an investigation into the question, does everything happen for a reason?, is baffling.

The show lacked direction; hopefully the performers will find it.
