MUNT MILKS LAUGHS WITH COW OF A CHARACTER
After seeing Silly Cow, it’s hard to know exactly who Ben Elton hates more, actors or journalists.
Silly Cow is his heavy-handed but ultimately very clever slash at the Fourth Estate and the at-times precious profession of acting.
It is a cutting, uncouth comedy with some very black moments as devilish columnist Doris is forced to face some demons of her own one imperfect day.
Director Robert Andrews keeps the setting simple and has a mostly capable cast tackle this unconventional show with enormous gusto.
