600 Seconds

In something of an experimental theatre battle royale, a cluster of different acts have 600 seconds of stage time each to compete for your vote.

The obvious advantage about such a show is that if you don't like one piece, you don't have to wait long until the next. But each of the performances have their own idiosyncratic strengths — some were challenging, some resourceful — and as the conversations in the bar at the end of the show proved, picking a winner was darned tricky.
