Capitalism v Socialism played out on a human level.
Capitalism looking and feeling like it might have won over the audience perhaps helped by the dialogue?

Through real time, simple and naturalistic acting I found myself being more and more drawn in to this story of two friends and moved by it.
I would guess that so many would relate to yearning for the level of connection that existed in the past but has since faded.
Highly recommended.

Original piece exploring the break-down and break-up of an old friendship in real time. Realistically written characters who are acted out superbly. Recommended!

A lovely show . Very well written and performed by two very talented performers. It questions friendship, success and how relationships develop. This is what the fringe is about in my opinion. New writing and new talent. Go and see it , you won't be disappointed.

An excellent two hander, exploring love, loss and the ways in which friends can both drift and move apart over time.
Thoroughly recommended!!
