Reviews
We've all probably been contacted at some point by a firm of ambulance chasers like Scorpion Claims - and most of us will have had the wit not to get involved. The Same Deep Water as Me explores a few months in the lives and dodgy dealings of solicitor Andrew, a former London high flier, forced to return to Luton in disgrace for undisclosed reasons, and his slightly hapless boss, Barry. A rich cast of characters is extremely well played throughout, and there is lots of lovely detail - Barry's tea pouring is exceptional, for example. Possibly not for those offended by sweary dialogue but otherwise it mixes comedy and a degree of pathos in a satisfying evening.
