The second instalment of N’tertainment’s wonderful Keeping up with the Jones’ series played to boisterous audiences for three nights at the Earl Cameron Theatre at City Hall over the weekend.I was able to see the Friday night performance, and it was nothing short of spectacular.Entitled Keep It Up!, and presented as the sequel to the acclaimed Don’t Talk To Me Like That, the show simply picked up where the first episode left off; the Jones family was wrapping up an epic celebration of grandparents Flossie and Norman’s 50th anniversary.The action was fast, furious, and funny from the moment the lights came up to reveal Sia (Nishanti Bailey) in ‘consultation’ with her love interest DJ Maximum (Mitchell Trott). Immediate laughs fell out of the capacity crowd and that was just the first scene.The alarmingly familiar predicaments that followed were hilarious at times, heartwarming at times, and downright sobering at times.Written by celebrated Bermudian playwright Patricia Pogson-Nesbitt, it revealed the various dysfunctions, joys, challenges, and strengths of the Jones family; a tight-knit group of decidedly diverse, flamboyant, and eclectic personalities.The all-Bermudian cast was excellent, with standout performances by Charise Clark as the cantankerous Mildred, newcomer Sania Smith as the tempestuous mystery child Grand Marnier (Marni for short), and Cameron Gordon as the aggressively gaudy Marcus.Of course, the veterans delivered the goods as well. Rhonda Daniels was a rock as Flossie and Roddy Nesbitt was great as the fastidious Christopher.The biggest laughs, however, were extracted by the stars of the show, Nishanti and Nadanja Bailey. They played multiple roles, with Nishanti flexing her theatrical muscle as the fabulously ghetto Sia, the pious Elmira and the dance hall-charged Reverend Gunn.Nadanja piled on the funny as the sexually ambiguous and garishly outspoken Norman and the chronically-inebriated Edward.The story followed the Jones’ through the surprise appearance of a child at the family doorstep (Marni), Christopher’s shock engagement and subsequent wedding (the next day of course), Elmira’s departure from the home, Mildred’s ‘abduction’ by Pc Dennis Harmony (played by newcomer Anton Gilbert), and the revelation that Marni was, somehow, Norman’s daughter.The acting was fantastic throughout, offering plenty of entertaining moments, and a good dose of thought-provoking dialogue as well. The cast’s comedic timing was especially impressive, as were the brief moments to top-notch physical comedy, especially considering that the physical comedy was really quite physical not always easy to pull off on a live stage.Overall, Keep It Up! was a brilliant stage production. Highly entertaining, well written, and tightly acted, this is another quality production from the fabulous N’tertainment Productions team. The drama is poised to continue as well as indicated by the cliffhanger ending Flossie goes to check on Grandpa Norman (who has been sick and bedridden for the entire show) and screams: “Call 911, Grandpa’s not breathing!”I know I won’t be missing the next episode.
