'Truth and Lies...'(an artist's urban odyssey)

Dominic Coleman, you may not know the name but I'm sure you'll know the face, from his many television appearances primarily as being a rival to Ronald. However, what Dominic does best is to write and star in his own shows.

He has had the critically acclaimed 'Looking for Michael' and ' Geeza ...Memoirs of an Ex Football Hooligan' for the last two years and wit this years offering, Truth and Lies he should have a sure fire hit on his hands.

Dominic introduces us to Neil Watson, a ' politically correct' Conceptual artist  who lives with his long term partner Saskia and their child. He is undertaking a project involving taking a youth, Darren or Daz as he likes to be known, from an inner London Council estate and using a touch of Professor Higgins introduces him to the middle class life, whilst in turn being introduced to Darren's life.

There is clever use of audio-visual effects, a story board flip chart  to relate time elapsed. There a also a number of props. One of my enduring memories of this performance is of Dominic on a micro scooter propelling himself around his venue.

His show is well written and performed with the true craft of the comic actor he undoubtedly is.
