Creena DeFoouie
You’re either going to hate the mad world of Creena DeFoouie or you’re going to love it and never want to leave. It’s hard to see any middle ground in this gothic comedy about a vampish analyst who can’t help murdering her hapless patients.
Like Ab Fab meets the Addams Family, stopping off at Rocky Horror on the way, the goings-on at Creena’s country clinic veer between schlock horror and high camp (of sorts). And it’s turning out to be a bad day for the psychotic analyst played by Charlotte Barton-Hoare when Superintendent Hardon (James Hoare) pops in just after she has done away with Kelly (Lisa Marie Diliberto), an insecure buck-toothed slob.
Hiding the body is the least of her worries as she slowly turns the tables on the priapic policeman in search of the truth about her long-gone murdered sister.
The constant laughs cover the cracks in the B-movie script and direction, and though the humour is slapstick and makes an art of the obvious in true music hall tradition, if you keep your ears and eyes peeled there are movie and song references galore.
Additionally, welcome inducement indeed, a bottle of champagne is to be won after each show.
