Bane 1

A brilliant show that can only be described as a 10-year-old Robin Williams reciting Raymond Chandler.

Joe Bone commands the attention of all present from the moment he explodes onto the stage, the considered strumming of solo guitarist Ben Roe to his left. To call this a one-man show would be a disservice to Roe's accompaniment, which lends the show a palpable edge.

Playing a multitude of characters at a trigger-fast click, Bane leads the charge, a brooding, no-nonsense character, part hard-bitten gumshoe, but all man.

Watching Bone work the stage tonight, one almost suffers vertigo from the dizzying pace he sets; from dodging bullets to pulling off a car/motorbike chase, the action never ceases- sweat dripping off his brow a testament to this fact.

Hilarious flashback sequences intersperse with a plotline that follows Bane as he tracks a man hell-bent on his demise. A brilliant show that can only be described as a 10-year-old Robin Williams reciting Raymond Chandler.
