TWO men and a woman quibble, tiptoe into tiffs, debate high-mindedly, negotiate shoals of red herrings, take offence and descend into glorious, undignified, disgraceful, bad behaviour.

Hammer and Tongs digs deep into the human compulsion to argue the toss.

From farcical fisticuffs at a wedding disco to squabbling for control of the TV remote control, Hammer and Tongs, presented by Theatre Alibi and written by Daniel Jamieson as part of Theatre Fest West, is a very human comedy – physical, funny, absurd, musical, moving, and absolutely bloody-minded.

Recommended age 14+.

  •  Hammer and Tongs is in The Salberg, Salisbury Playhouse tonight.
