So much characterisation and development and revelations in just 40 mins – incredible!
Well done, it was a very moving topic. Keep up the good work. You did it brilliantly. I hope we’ll see more of you in the future!
Well done all. Great engaging performances and stage presence. Very relatable dialogue. 10/10!
Super important topic, the dialogues felt so real! Brilliant performances, I can’t wait to see what’s next!
Brilliant – explores serious topics and themes while maintaining funny and realistic dialogue. You can feel every character is rooted in real experience.
I loved how beautifully and sensitively Brendan's transition was addressed. Well done for community-based action and love – it was soul destroying to see gentrification encapsulated but so moving and I loved the victorious end!
Fantastic and essential script delivered beautifully inside a really effective minimal and utilitarian set. 5/5!
I loved the stories weaving together and the relationships being played out – very relatable and so many poignant touches of community, identity, family.
It was very convincing. Each character was so well performed. An interesting and sadly realistic story.
Really nice performances, staging and script. Light touch on difficult issues. Nice witty script
