Acting
After a day of boozing and cruising, narrowboat novice (Gabe) and his craggy, veteran ‘engine whisperer’ (Fred) regale Gabe’s uptight school friend (Harry) with a litany of toilet horror stories that draw a stark line between the haves and the have nots on the London canals. Faecal Beast is a scatological comedy that gleefully punctures landlubbers’ romantic notions of boat life and pays loving homage to Steven Spielberg’s ‘Jaws’.
