Description
Dual personalities meet but don’t recognize each other. Are they natural enemies in a fight to the death, or is love a possibility? Brilliant ambiguity leaves the audience with a lot to think about. ‘What an amazing ride from start to finish. Everything about this play was totally relatable and thought provoking. Almost like an outer body experience. Just the right amount of comedy/drama.’ Mark Heany.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

A fun absurdist romp, executed by four excellent actors, through the universal questions of who are we, really? Are the people in our lives seeing us as we really are, or do they see someone else? And who are we really falling in love with? Deftly directed, snappy dialogue and plenty of humor makes for a very entertaining 70 minutes.

A wonderful piece of theatre. The spark and pace of the dialogue was remarkable and kept us on our toes throughout as the narrative unfolded.
The skill of the four actors was sheer delight, ranging from clown and non -verbal performance to a range of feisty and convincing relationships and exchanges between sets of 'characters.' We are never quite clear where the line is drawn between dreams and reality, and we keep questioning as we leave the theatre! So pleased to have seen this thought-provoking and beautifully executed piece.

This theatre company created and devised perfectly this wonderful show starring a group of 4 creative actors on stage and the story of when one man has a brother whom starts causing trouble then getting involved in all sorts of funny scenarios makes for a wonderful show and without giving too much away what we can say is that to miss this great show would be a grave mistake so get your minds ticking a get your tickets now this is 5 stars from us

The most thought-provoking piece my group has seen at the Fringe so far, and that says a lot! We were immediately hooked and the suspension of disbelief was complete throughout the play.
It has been a couple of days since we saw it but we’re still discussing it and comparing it to other things seen this week.
A must-see!

Wow. Flawlessly performed, intelligent, poignant, provocative. Our group loved this, still talking about it, a must see. Perfect.

This was an amazing show. Exactly what you go to the Fringe hoping to see. Excellent acting and direction and truly profound and enjoyable writing. Came in with one expectation and left entirely surprised and delighted. Our group still hasn’t stopped talking about the show. Don’t miss this one!

I loved this! Not one for absurdist theatre as a rule but I found this play clever, engaging, funny & highly entertaining. Highly recommended!

Dissociation (*****)
This clever play is about the competing aspects of a person’s personality, and their relative strengths and weaknesses. From the initial mime sequence through real and dreamed scenes, it consistently explores the issue without psychobabble, nor easy solutions. The simple use of sweaters and coats served to unobtrusively and effectively differentiate the characters and personalities.
This is the most enjoyable of the 32 shows I have seen so far at the Fringe this year. I hope to see more than 150 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/
