This rapid-fire comedy wouldn't be out of place in a 9.30pm sitcom slot on Channel 4; certainly writer Matt Borgatti has mastered the art of writing quirky one-liners and verbal banter. The absurd premise of the play - that a young man would find a goblin had taken up residence in his bathroom, and that the goblin would be visible and audible only to him - leaves plenty of room for the antics that follow. Strong performances from the cast, particularly John Robinson (as the young man's flatmate) and Kirsty Pannett (as the girlfriend, aka 'Satan') back up the style of the piece. Maija Levasalmi, playing an over-committed exorcist, is also great fun to watch.
If you enjoy comedies like Black Books and Spaced, this is probably right up your alley. The ending seems more abrupt than necessary, but at the same time there probably wasn't a lot more room to play with this concept, and Borgatti definitely leaves the viewer wanting more.
