After last night, I was uncertain if I was going to enjoy Raiders. This was my second comedy and comments on the National Arts Festival site said that it was a Festival Institution and a must see for first time festinos. Dan saw it earlier in the week and his positive comments were what persuaded me to get tickets.

Unfortunately a combination of last night and my uncomfort at the possibility of becoming cast (a feature of Raiders) made me unsure before it even started. It was, however, hilarious and incredibly clever.

The story is of a South African aviator who reached the top of Everest two days before Sir Edmund Hillary. Utter nonsense, but great fun. They turned ordinary everyday objects into props to great effect. I concur, a must see of any Festival programme!
