Fiona Coffey in A Touch of Mrs Robinson A Touch of Mrs Robinson
Greenside @Infirmary street
16 August 2017
4 Stars
Currently packing them in at this venue is this stylish cabaret hour featuring cinema's most famous cougar, Mrs Robinson of The Graduate fame. Performer Fiona Coffey talks about the character and attempts, through songs, to find out what made her the woman we encounter in the film, taking us 'behind the cougar'.
It's a gorgeous swinging Sixties set list, and musicians Michael Roulston and Jonathan Kitching complete an effective trio, the interaction between them allows Mrs Robinson to be dominant in places. A healthy mixture of jazz and pop classics such as Step Inside Love, are smoothly performed, and the show is quietly subversive in showing attitudes toward women in that Era, making you reconsider your attitude towards Mrs Robinson.
There is some fun audience participation, and although the cougar could have been more strongly unleashed in places, this is a soothing gem of an hour, very well performed.
Until 26 August 2017
