Say this for Sonya Kelly: she draws a crowd. For the opening performance of her one-woman show, written by Simon Doyle and presented by Anu Productions, the theatre was packed with admirers delighted with her impersonation of a lunar lecturer happily named Felicia Umbral, tee-hee.

And you’ve got to say something too for the comic timing of this production, what with pseudo-science in the news this week. Kelly’s nervous, bespectacled Felicia, herself a satellite of her dead father, isn’t trashing Darwin but rather making the case for the existence of men in the moon, complete with an overhead projector and audio tapes to rival Krapp.

Kelly presents an amusing array of scholarly and less-than-scholarly tics, and the script has its moments - as a pompous academic I enjoyed hearing Umbral declare that, when it comes to the moon, “familiarity breeds complacency and ignorance, at best.” After the show I got a wee smile out of Felicia’s online presence, just like she’s a real person!

But the chortling crowd that surrounded me must have been finding more than these fleeting pleasures in a show whose charms passed me by. The funniest thing in it was Anu’s note on the programme sheet (“our work values the interpenetration of space, object and culture” etc), but I’m guessing that wasn’t a joke.
