Review: Unfortunate: The Untold Story of Ursula the Sea Witch at The Lowry

It opens with a bang, followed by a swear. Unfortunate is vulgar, it’s garish and it’s laugh out loud funny.

Straight from Edinburgh Fringe, by Robyn Grant and Daniel Foxx, this sold out show is one to catch if you can. From constant fish jokes to smutty humour and vulgar lines, it’s a show for adults.

Following the success of other villainess backstories, with Wicked taking the West End by storm and Maleficent claiming the silver screen, Unfortunate's audience is a little different. With only six actors and a hell of a lot of quick changes, it’s a true fringe show. Each actor absolutely smashed all of their roles and the audience’s enjoyment was obvious in the standing ovation.
