Cassie and the Lights

Amazing, amazing, amazing! There was no doubt that the actors were not children. Completely believable character development and real empathy was created between the actors and the audience which made for an incredibly moving show. Although a serious topic it was dealt with in such a way that it made you understand and relate to the characters through the eyes of your inner child and teenager. The actors were the focal point however the design, set and music was outstanding and created an almost nostalgia, which worked effortlessly with the space. The entire creative team clearly worked very hard on this show and it has paid off. One of my favourite fringe shows to date. Outstanding!

One of the stand out shows for me. The acting was excellent and the use of music and props enhanced the experience. Very poignant and thought provoking. Go and see it!

When their mother abandons her three daughters, her 16-year old daughter takes over rearing her two younger sisters until the system gets wind of it. My companion, who worked in Children Social Care, and I were very moved by the tale. We did find the music accompaniment too loud though.

So far, this was the 15th most enjoyable show of the 84 have seen at the Fringe this year. You may see my other three-sentence reviews, in order from most enjoyable to worst, at my non-commercial website: https://fringefan.com/

Profound. I spent more than an hour afterwards emotionally drained. Loved it.

This show brought us to tears with its raw honesty and captivating performance. You feel as though you are brought along on this journey, and have your heart broken with them. Exceptional use of lighting and live music to establish settings and set the tone. Don't wear mascara to this one folks!

This is a little fringe gem. A wholesome and charming show. A wonderful exploration of sorority, responsibility, love and limitations. The cast were an utter joy, from their initial chats with the incoming audience to their final entreaties onstage - I've never seen an audience fall in love with characters so fast or so hard.

This show will make you laugh, smile and cry.

It is absolutely wonderful and thus far has been the highlight of our fringe. Do yourselves a favour and go and see it!

Wonderfully performed, joyous and sad, thought-provoking, ultimately feelgood.
Highly recommended

This was a spectacular and heart-warming play with live electronic style music all about three sisters currently stuck in the foster care system, and the eldest sister’s desire to win legal guardianship of the younger two. Incredible performances from all three sisters and the musician- you will laugh and cry! Can’t recommend Cassie and the Lights enough

Beautifully acted story about the meaning of family and one sister's commitment to being there for her siblings in a way that their parents weren't. Though the production values itself sometimes seem a bit too ambitious for the venue it's in, ultimately, the acting and the writing really shine and make this a show that will stay with you. Highly recommended!
