SUPPER AT STANLEY’S

(* * * * – four stars) By Tania Bosak.

Jessica Nicholas – Reviewer

            Tania Bosak has been honing the concept behind her show for almost a decade.  Based on the story of her father’s defection from former Yugoslavia in the 1950s, Supper at Stanley’s is a highly entertaining – and delightfully unpredictable– journey through Bosak’s cultural heritage and musical influences.  Yes, there are plenty of irresistible Balkan gypsy tunes, but there are also unexpected detours through Afro-Brazilian music, jazz poetry and Korean drumming. It’s a slightly eccentric mix, yet somehow it works.  Bosak is a charismatic performer with strong theatrical instincts and a natural comedic flair, though her focus here is largely on the music.  She sings, plays percussion and directs her marvellous 9-piece band with a playful energy that elicits some hilarious interactions (particularly with tuba player and pseudo-translator Dan Witton). This is the final season of Supper at Stanley’s before Bosak takes her musical taste buds in a new direction, so catch it while you can.

Featuring a 10 piece all star band, including Phil Bywater, Andrew Tanner, Audrey Boyle, Stephen Grant, Anita Hustas, Andrew James, Konrad Park, Dan Witton, Peter Marijanovic and special guests.
