Description

'On my 29th birthday I died. And went to Heaven. Only it didn't happen in that order...'. A tropical rollercoaster of love, sex and margaritas. A birthday that turns her world upside down. From the golden shores of Costa Rica to the depths of her past, in this journey through paradise, surfboards and salsa nights collide with the raw truths of female sexuality. 'I'm saying no – maybe I'm not saying it loud enough because he doesn't hear it?'

Wow this show totally blew me away . Its so cleverly written and performed and the cello music adds to the story so beautifully. It's an acting Masterclass with a powerful hard hitting message so authentic and powerful. It will stay with me for a long time. See this play!

Gigi mesmerizes me with her incredible performance and immersive, magnetic, cinematic writing style. This piece draws you into a world of beauty and excitement, adventure and autonomy, but ultimately strips back the surface to reveal the dark underbelly that lies beneath. The music adds an incredible soundscape and nuance to the story that leaves the audience speechless. I have rarely felt so emotional and touched during a show’s climax. Gigi leaves no stone unturned in a well-constructed piece that is as daring as it is imaginative. Do yourself a favor and catch her in this limited run!

A skilfully written solo-show in which the writer/performer touches upon a very grave topic with grace and with the perfect amount of irony necessary to deal with such difficult material. Gigi is captivating entertaining and moving. The live cello music is perfectly intertwined with the dramaturgy, and adds so much gravitas to an already excellent piece.
