Some Kind Of Bliss - TNT

If only fictional Daily Mail journalist Rachel had hopped on a bus or jumped on a bike, she probably wouldn't have got laid, got mugged or killed a dog on her way to interview Lulu — and she certainly wouldn't have needed to steal an ice-cream van. But if you've left home six hours early to escape from a well-meaning but irritating schoolteacher husband and from an unexpected, unsettling e-mail sent by your ex from student days, what's a girl to do to kill the time but walk along the Thames Path all the way from London Bridge to Greenwich in her unsuitable killer heels? Samuel Adamson's 75-minute one-woman show gives Lucy Briers plenty of scope show off her versatility as she revisits the haunts of a beloved uncle (who succumbed to Aids and whom, as a child, she always wanted to impress) and re-evaluates her comfy but unfulfilling life on the way. And even though Rachel's incident-packed journey through the less familiar streets of London frequently strains credibility, Briers is an engaging performer who adds an extra dimension to this mini voyage of self-discovery.
