What a nice man! Like a presidential candidate, Hugh Hughes shakes hands with every audience member at the end of Floating.
This may seem like whimsy but it fits in perfectly with the homely but friendly tone of this quirky show that sits somewhere on the fence between theatre and comedy.
Hugh Hughes plays a man called Hugh Hughes, while cheery Sioned Rowlands plays herself and also other residents of Anglesey, the island from which HH hails.
For 70 minutes, the pair illustrate the tale of how, commencing on April 1st 1982 as HH was about to desert the island, Anglesey left its place next to Wales and went on a jaunty cruise around the Atlantic.
Hughes' delivery is like that of a benign teacher or lecturer and audience members learn a surprising amount about a wide variety of subjects including the Welsh language, the Gulf Stream and, of course, Anglesey, almost through osmosis.
This journey is shown using the lowest tech multimedia imaginable but tremendous charm and a great deal of preparation. We meet an assortment of locals including HH's grandmother and his terrifying old schoolteacher until the final return to Wales and normality.
If the harshness of contemporary life is beginning to get you down, try refreshing your palate with the good natured silliness of Floating.
