Interactive Theatre International have toured The Faulty Towers Dining Experience, their homage to the iconic BBC comedy series Fawlty Towers, around Australia and across the UK for many years now, so it is logical to branch out and devise a new work, Confetti and Chaos.It follows the formula of its sister show; the production is a three-course meal with the show playing around the audience, except this time the premise is a ‘surprise’ wedding experience, where the wedding party interact with the audience as part of the performance that uses the whole space as their stage.

There are plots and sub plots, all cleverly played by four actors – Tiggy Duchense, Monique Lewis-Reynolds, Jack Newell and Matthew Robson who clearly are extremely comfortable playing multiple roles and up close and personal situations.

In commedia del arte style, the production contains everything from slapstick to song to innuendo. The characters seem endless and varied – Stacey the Bride (also the hotel functions manager and the Groom’s Mother), Will the Groom (and Marvin the waiter complete with blond mullet and a limited knowledge of Sir Elton John) , Ricky the Best Man (and Father of the Bride) and Lyn the Mother of the Bride (and the social influencer Aunt)

Played in a symphony of pink and purple tulle decorations, the backstories just keep coming and complicating what should be a joyous occasion for the Bride and Groom. Some highlights are; the best man unknowingly taking drugs and losing his inhibitions and most of his clothes, the Aunt and the Mother of the Groom’s songs, the fake wedding cake, and the ownership of the bride’s grandmother’s ashes. However, with a few moments of seriousness, the evening finishes on a happy note.

Special mention to the staff of the Adelaide Royal Coach. Their service is impeccable and their food is excellent, which makes the evening even more entertaining. There were many compliments floating around our table and many food selfies being taken.

Confetti and Chaos is a laugh packed, zany two hours of immersive fun that will have you screaming and clapping along when you aren’t tucking into some delicious food!
