Arts les Like Us My Map of the Underground LMU Studio Theatre

n a world with no-one left to spy upon, the snoopers of M172 are left without work. So they invent suspicious circumstances: a simple conversation in Morrison's is edited and Ispliced into a murder plot. Dreary and lifeless yet hyperactive, the five spies rush around persecuting the innocent in order to regain their own sense of worth. It's comedy right from the word go as the characters come on in their ill-fitting suits. 'Nobby' (Mark Webber) is the archetypal train-spotter with his Brylcreem hair and weaselly looks; the Colonel (Mick Wood) is pompous and upright. However, the spies' snooping manner begins to take on meaning when they discover bugs amongst their own teabags- perhaps someone is trying to beat them at their own game. Interference Theatre Co-operative's My Map of the Underground relies almost entirely on visual gags as there is no conversation as such, which highlights the actors' abilities. It's a very technically demanding work with much to go wrong: photographs are taken and developed live, tapes are run and synchronised with live speech and in one particularly difficult scene a spy follows exactly the recorded action taking placed on a television screen behind him. The action never drags as there's always at least one thing going on at any given time. At one point Otis (played by Elliot FaIk) comes into the audience searching for enemy bugs. Although it occupies the 'experimental theatre' pigeonhole, the play is highly accessible. Free from the hampers of plot and meaningful debate (although it does explore to a certain extent the usefulness of increasing surveillance) pure comedy is allowed free reign. Chris Williams

Leeds Student Independent Newspaper 27th May 1994 Music 10 Cool for cats Jools Holland Irish Centre

irst, let's emphasise what Jools Holland is not. He's not a singer, for a start: while any karaoke novice can bark 'Great Balls of Fire', Fas Holland did for his encore, the more subtle melody of 'He's Got The Blues Again' requires more than a vocalist who might as well be singing under water. What he is, in essence, is an entertainer blessed with a drought-dry wit that is Far more appealing live than in front of the TV cameras. Moreover, he is arguably the most vibrant, exhilarating and gifted rock n'roll pianist of his generation. Shades of his mentor remain pervasive throughout: before Jools Holland took to whipping up his audiences into a boogie- woogie frenzy, there was the Human Whisk himself, Jerry Lee. Holland devours a number of the Killer's compositions in his live set, and you half-expect him to leap from his tilting stool and tickle the ivories with his toes at any moment. Jools the pianist is like the footballer who will keep running with the ball, head down, until he's tackled: relentless, focused and refreshingly unpredictable. A virtual reincarnation: Jerry Lee without the paedophilia. But Holland's masterstroke is to amalgamate his frenetic boogie-woogie with a funky blues hammond (manned by similarly- gifted brother Christopher) and a four-piece horn section as tight as a gnat's chuff. This is the ensemble fronted by Holland as Chris Evans' sidekick on 'Don't Forget Your Toothbrush', and their combined effect is impressive. Only the drummer offered himself as a weak link, requiring a furious, rather amateurish lighting display to beef up his awkwardly long solo. Jools remained omnipotent: with the stuff of 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Gone On' clearly his first and true love, it makes you wonder how he put up with being in Squeeze for so long. Martyn Beauchamp

Voices from the Grave LAmerican Ghosts & Old World Wonders Angela Carter (Vintage £5.99)

• here's a moment in Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus when a train transporting Colonel Kearney's circus across Siberia is derailed and in the ensuing detritus the Theroine finds that all the tigers have disappeared - they have gone into the mirrors. Whilst all else - elephants, apes, aerialistes, are faced with the ironic liberty of chaos, the sinuous, sensuous, graceful tigers remain caged. And it is possible that the tigers embody female desire, which of course is not to be released under any circumstances, no matter how ironic, dear me, no. The first tale of Carter's last collection of short stories is about a little girl, four, fleshy and squat, another tiger, and their reciprocal fascination. By the time the story was written - indeed, for some considerable time before, Carter had achieved a prose style which is sufficiently far into symbolism to be magically suggestive and sufficiently close to actuality to be cornered by reality: the little girl grows up to be Lizzie Borden, she of the axe and the whacks, suffering the humidity of foetid Massachusetts summers and the repression of intense Catholicism. Between this and 'The Fall River Axe Murders' from the 1985 collection Black Venus there may well have been a ferocious novel in the vein that dominates the first half of the book - American gothic. The second tale is a clever conceit on two John Fords, one, a seventeenth century playwright, author of Tis Pity She's a Whore and two, a twentieth century film director, the ti maker of Stagecoach and My. Darling Clementine. Sections of Jacobean charnel-house drama merge with pieces of Western filmscript (of Carter's own invention) to chart the tale of a love that does not even have a name it dare not speak, except with overtones of hell, sin and Angela Carter - now appearing on an English syllabus near you damnation: love me, or kill me, brother...love me or kill me, sister is the theme that links the your life trying to remember it.' two.
