Fiji

Most uncomfortable hour of theatre ever - bloody brilliant! Superb performances by both actors.

Absolutely gripping show, fantastically written, well acted and deliciously complex

Saw this last week , absolutely brilliant , we were engaged for the beginning . A difficult and worrying subject shot through with comedy . Great script with superb performances from the two actors , energetic and humorous but thoughtful and insightful. Would definitely recommend .

Brilliant! Dark and profound. Two very talented actors kept us enthralled throughout. We will certainly be looking out for them next year. Well done.

This show is breath-taking on so many levels. Intelligent writing, unexpectedly funny, emotional, and beautifully performed. Based on this show alone, I can't wait to see what these two performers do next, because they are exceptional actors. Don't miss this show!

MESMERIZING. Absolute range of emotions with material you never thought you would sit with for so long.

Not only was the writing brilliant, wholesome, and profound, but the acting was TRANSCENDENT.

YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS. How this is not sold out every night is a true travesty!

Wonderfully unsettling and upsetting material which creeped me out, got me all emotional and left me with a sense of admiration for the actors and creators

This was funny, mesmerising, believable, unbelievable, horrific and captivating from beginning to end. I think I want to go back and see it again just in case I missed anything first time around

I mean WOW, genuinely one of the best shows I have seen period.

A genuine, breathtaking, butterfly inducing, rollercoaster of a show.

So thankful I got the chance to see this :) reminded me why I act. 10’s across the board.

So far, this was the 26th 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/

Saw 'Fiji' yesterday afternoon. A well-written, well-acted two-hander which delves pretty unflinchingly into one of our deepest taboos with an interesting combination of tenderness and black humour. I watched with a slighly queasy fascination lurching from time to time towards revulsion. It's about cannibalism after all. But it manages to avoid being either lurid or sensationalist and is all the better for that. Rather, the complex material is held by clever writing and two thoroughly engaging performances. Definitely thought-provoking and highly recommended.

I’m not a fan of rating acting and performances, but this is definitely a 10/10. Hear me out:
I’ve seen a total of 16 plays at Fringe, and this is definitely worth prioritising. First of all, the two actors are extremely talented, and they clearly have chemistry which shows on the stage. Their sense of comic timing and body language towards each other are clear to see. The script is one of the most brilliant dialogues I’ve seen to date. They succeed at making it funny, serious, heartfelt and mysterious. The script knows how to lead the audience in a false believe of comfort, and the pulling the rug away underneath them. This is new writing at its finest. It never gets boring, and when you think you know what happens, they throw a curveball at you. So again, as much as I didn’t want this to be a rating, it truly is a 10/10.

I was looking forward to this show - unfortunately our party of 4 struggled to hear much of the dialogue by both characters. "Sam" in particular was often very quietly spoken.
It made for frustrating viewing which was a real shame.

An excellent first show today. Thank you. The acting was impeccable and the sly joy with which you both played your characters was infectious. This is going to be a big hit.
