Aimee Best rates the monks


Super smashing great, as the long lost Jim Bowen often said.

The Wheel Of Life tells the story of The Shaolin Monks in the most spectacular way imaginable. Starring only the aforementioned monks and a Chinese orchestra of three, at times the show was visually overwhelming with demostrations of physical ability that frequently made the audience gasp.

You can't say that about many productions.

In fact the production was so good It's very difficult to write about without losing all my journalistic integrity. So, I won't.

If the Monks are in town go see them.
