Only one performance to go and it deserves to be sold out. Very inventive script as well as strong performances from Norman and Noah especially. Enough humour to keep it bubbling along nicely but ultimately with an unexpected emotional impact. I loved it and Norman’s insightful comments on time really grab the imagination. Use your time wisely, buy a ticket and you will not be disappointed.

Brilliant scenario by the author of this show. Tackles serious emotions with a bit of wit. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I imagine there must have been some adaptation of the script at some point to reduce the play to an hour. However, the script is filled with inconsistencies, and the pace feels too slow given the number of characters involved. With the play being so heavy on silences, the excessive use of characters leads to situations where they seem more like they're waiting for their turn to speak rather than interacting with the scene. Additionally, many of the interactions between characters don't really add any value to the story. I don't know... While I appreciate the effort, I left feeling a bit disappointed

I loved this show! An incredibly moving piece of theatre. I did tear up by the end of it, and had to take a walk to reflect on what I just saw

Di(n)e is a surreal, amusing and interesting play about a man being visited in limbo by various characters. Although short, it is discusses relevant issues in an entertaining way and reaches a satisfying conclusion.

I saw this play a few days ago and haven't seen anything like it. Its unique take on the afterlife, or "afterdeath" is haunting, surreal, and almost whimsical. This is a very funny play at times, but there's a real emotional undercurrent, and a message behind it. While the situation is rather surreal, there is an emotional truth behind it all, you feel the connection and history between the characters. This is a play with a great sense of humour, and more importantly, a great heart.

A very uplifting tale about second chances. This show was perfectly performed by its cast and they kept me engaged right to the twist. And what a twist .
A great modern short that is well worth seeing.

This is a must see. The quality of the narrative is matched by the performance of all the cast. Excellent!

An incredibly moving piece of theatre. The chemistry between the entire cast was heartwarming, and not a moment was wasted on stage. Pacing was punchy, and despite the heavy, powerful subject, the laughs were aplenty. The show flies by as it deals with all sorts of themes and ideas brilliantly. Bravo to all the actors, writer, and director.
