Description
Catriona has a history of making stuff up. But she’s getting better. When an attractive American tourist arrives, she decides to show him around her Northern Irish town. And she might blur the line between fact and fiction, just a little... Soon she's telling him about cannibal peasants, human roosters, and the largest orgy ever held on consecrated ground. A multi award-nominated show starring Rachael Rooney, about the stories we tell to escape. ***** (Stage).

Unexpected, evocative - that feeling of inevitability but also ambiguity - I don't want to give away too much, but this show made me feel things and I'm glad I went to see it. It will look after you and (I think) it is not something you have seen before.

Enthralling, engaging (l was weeping before lunchtime), entertaining (laughs out loud too). One actor with many voices. Amazes me at Fringe how one hour can either drag or fly-by. This girl lying packs so much into 60 minutes that it spilt into the rest of my day recalling the performance, the writing & issues raised. Recommend.
