How Much: £14.00 (Tickets) , £10.00 (Concessions)
A revival for this riotous teenage show and we still cannot decide whether this is going to be brilliant or awful. But we're definitely going to see it this time!

On the one hand, Ontroerend Goed are one of the most exciting, interactive theatre companies around. They stage shows that grip the audience and manhandles it: quite literally in the case of their one-on-one wheelchair odyssey The Smile Off Your Face. Everything they do is interesting, visceral and redefines dramatic staging. On the other hand, this show is all about teenagers.

Once And For All... features 13 teenage actors playing out a number of typical teenage situations. So, they fight, commit vandalism, insult the audience, go to a party, and snog. The play has been praised to the skies for its uneasy but stimulating blend of voyeurism, compassion and truth. It does sound a bit like a feature length Skins, though, doesn't it?

The Guardian gives this show five stars and defines the teens as 'this passionate, invincible chapter in all our lives'. At Spoonfed, we define the teens as those years when you are rather boring, self-centred and rude and you sit in your room and masturbate a LOT. No offense, kids.

Anyway it shoudl be well worth seeing, even if it does turn out to be like talking to a real teenager.
