Reviews

Whatsonstage.com: 09Jan03:
Excellent, as always. I kind of agree with Mark Shenton\'s comments and it was interesting to see that, although the acts remain the same the performers do not. Clearly, some of the extremes in the acts performed last time Saltimbanco was here have been toned down (perhaps the performers can no longer achieve these feats?) but then I think some things have improved with age - the bungee performance seemed much better than last time.
