Tonight we got parts 2 & 3 of the ongoing saga of our favourite gun for hire in old New York. The Beast Within, part two, explores Bane's motivations and demons while part three, Welcome To Sunnyview, shows how he is, as he himself admits, once a killer always a killer, no matter how much he tries to change.
This time the story is even funnier and more serious with deaths and double dealings galore. Author and performer Joe Bone somehow manages to shoehorn in several fantasy sequences along with what seems to be dozens, if not hundreds, of individual characters on a bare stage accompanied, as before, by composer and guitarist Ben Roe.
Littered with puns galore, a car chase and some very implausible get outs, this is an uproarious evening's entertainment made possible solely by virtue of Bone's talent.
If you ever wondered how you can show a car chase around New York city on a bare stage then you absolutely have to go and see any of the episodes of Bane currently out on tour.
Episode four is currently being polished and we have been promised a visit next year. I can't wait!
