This is an excellent play - and very, very funny.

Something is going on at a smoky old club, ‘Bianca's’ which is somehow both in 1930s Berlin and deep space. We are introduced to an equal parts chaotic and magnetic time travelling character Iris Wildthyme - a drunk, horny, wandering accented tour de force. An exceptional counter to a companion free 6th doctor (who is seemingly her least favourite incarnation!) I was gobsmacked by the quality of Katy Manning's performance throughout. There is much more to Iris than I thought based on the episode of her series BF make available for free.

The comedy is pitched perfectly, despite being consistently daring. The moment Bianca uses her powers to tempt the Doctor into her arms is a particularly surprising moment - those groans conjured up some images I didn't particularly want to imagine...!

The music throughout, even songs we only hear scraps of are gorgeous.

The plot ties up nicely, the beautiful characterisation of our leads not trumping the plot. Another success for the 6th Doctor.
