Mini Review
David Austin's autobiographical account of being down, out and hooked on crack in Belize has a crude power, even if it's not really insightful about addiction or human behaviour, and not really theatre. Sometimes annoyingly smug and cocky, Austin knows how to spin a tale and his powers of description are often vivid, even if there's too much repetition in the 90 minute show. NNN (GS)
