"Highly recommended for those who are still children at heart" - Sheffield Socks Review

Always love a nice review. This is from a blog by @ClaireAChapman, reviewing the Socks, and the other acts, doing their Edinburgh Previews at Sheffield's New Barrack Tavern on Sunday afternoon.


Kicking off the afternoon to evening, in the beautiful walled suntrap of a pub garden, was the Scottish Falsetoo Sock Puppet Theatre, who will be performing their show "Scottish Falsetoo Sock Puppets Do Shakespeare" at the Fringe every day from 3 to 29 August, with no show on 23 August, at 10.30pm Gilded Balloon Teviot for £5. The best way of describing the show is a one-man adult Scottish Punch and Judy show with socks, full of bad but very funny Bard related puns and hilarious original and re-worded songs, including my favourites "Fuck Up Some Shakespeare" and a unique version of Blur's "Boys and Girls", plus plays and a sonnet performed as never before. Highly recommended for those who are still children at heart and agree Shakespeare comedies are not funny enough.
