Slapdash Galaxy starts with a man in tights telling you about a story of two brothers then—using toy soldiers, plastic  bottles and a load of other ordinary objects—he makes extraordinary shadows that turn into space spiders, giant chefs and pirates. Anything can happen with  his assortment of props.

He included the audience, with peoples' hair being 'the shaggy planet' and noses and mouths being 'the mountain ranges'. The three big white boards he used turned everything—from balloons to bottles—into entertaining shadows. What I especially liked were his rings and baubles made of smoke which he fired through the air.

All throughout the show he used man-made noise and he used the props expertly. Nothing went wrong and I was thoroughly entertained start to finish. Anyone will enjoy this; child or adult.
