Quite a challenge you might suspect but no, the company took it well within their stride, creating a deliciously daft, utterly irresistible comedy that was both highly inventive and extremely funny. They start and finish with Harry talking to best friend Ron (now nicknamed ‘Cheasley’) Weasley about the strange direction in which his life is heading and manage to incorporate just about everything inbetween, from the wonderfully strangulated vocal machinations of Severus Snape to the sparkling new life of baubles and glitter that beckons each of them behind the Mirror of Erised.
Yes there are, perhaps inevitably, a few moments when inspiration briefly flags but these are tiny and generally the company do a terrific job, offering the perfect tonic after a long day at the Fringe.
