Crunch is ostensibly a morning show for children about apples, but such is the subtlety and subversive humour, under the direction of Daniel Goldman, that adults will willingly get wrapped up in it too.
It starts with a modern Adam and (his Swedish) Eve in the fruit naming department of a corporation, who quickly come up with the blackcurrant, the lemon and the goat.
All is running smoothly until a preserved apple from the Garden of Eden comes in. When Johan Westergren's Adam pops out, pretty business-like Eve (Sarah Lewerth) is tempted by a sinuous visitor to eat the apple and both workers are sacked on the spot, by the biggest of bosses.
They then begin a quest for more Edenic apples and love. The story contains a fair bit of educational material as the pair meet Sir Isaac Newton (Troels Findsen) who explains a number of complicated scientific theories.
The tone lightens as William Tell and a trio of Greek goddesses turn up and finally Adam and Eve are united with the apples and each other.
The music performed by guitarist/narrator John Hinton, who also juggles, is bright and breezy. Who can resist boppy tunes about Newton's theories and living "apple-y ever after"?
Crunch is packed with cracking jokes and silly, happy songs to ensure that audiences enjoy the apples with which they are rewarded for attending.
It is hard to overstate the sense of fun that permeates this show, from the Anglo-Scandinavian Tangram, whose 4:48 Psychosis was so well reviewed. For a great buck-up first thing in the morning have a Crunch!
