Chris Dolan's translations of comic shorts from Spain have become an irregular fixture of A Play, A Pie and A Pint's ongoing seasons of lunchtime theatre. They have not been particularly remarkable, more one-line joke diversions than anything substantial. This latest double is no exception, though both in different ways display a satirical depth at their essentially madcap heart.

Maite Perez Larumbe's Zarraberri finds John Kazek's arts bureaucrat Alfonso attempting to plant a cone-shaped visitor centre in a one-donkey town in some vain attempt at social engineering. Geographical spread, rural centres of excellence, you know the drill. Pitching like a well-oiled Apprentice contestant, Alfonso may aspire to a fun palace folly of Dome-sized proportions, but Simon Scott's local mayor and Ros Sydney's vivacious gal Friday have other ideas. What follows is a pithy discourse on civic follies with a knowing nod to Spanish architecture that's infinitely bigger than the airheads inside.

Limbo by Maria Iriarte finds Kazek pitting his wits against Sydney and Scott even more.

This time he's the aptly named Angel, a man attempting to check into Heaven, but who first must go through a bureaucratic points system.

Part Kafkaesque nightmare, part Alan Bennett-style poke at office jobsworths, part magical-realist knockabout, its life and death material is more of an extended sketch than a fully-rounded play.

Rosie Kellagher's production makes the best of both works. Opening each with wordless scene-setters, she navigates Kazek, Scott and Sydney through this pair of appealingly slight mini-sit-coms with understated charm. There's a wickedness beyond this, however, you long to bite where it hurts.
