The Comedy About Spies at Noel Coward Theatre review: bungling, buffoonish hilarity
Mischief has a diehard following that's stuck with them through Peter Pan Goes Wrong, The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, Mischief Movie Night and the deeply unimpressive Groan-Ups and Magic Goes Wrong, which together kicked off an ill-fated residency at the Vaudeville in 2019. I confess I've previously been baffled by the appeal of their broad, knockabout humour, even in PTGW, which I saw some years and several cast-changes into its run, when it seemed technically proficient but tired, its jollity forced.
