Wow... ! Amazing performances from the cast. Sharply written, occasionally funny, deeply human, and ultimately unafraid to go 'full-throttle' towards dark subjects and situations... which makes for quite the (both philosophical and uneasy) spectacle. Well done, Bobby and company!

Ooft! .... tae see wirsels as ithers see us (through a glass darkly). A series of short, sharp shocks, seen in a fragmented mirror. Dreams shattered, innocence defiled. Powerful, uncompromising and exceedingly uncomfortable; not for the squeamish (no rose tinted glasses here).

Dark, twisted & thought-provoking with comedy running throughout. A great watch that’ll leave you thinking for the rest of the day!

Marvellous show, really enjoyed the performance. It was funny in bits and a bit dark in bits but overall enjoyable. All actors are very professional.

Dark, seedy and close to the bone. Covering lots of current topics in a very uncomfortably real but sometimes funny way!
Amazing performance from all the actors involved and a definite must see this year! 5 stars!!!!

Unflinching look at toxic masculinity- by turns funny and shocking. A strong cast takes the audience on a gripping dark journey. As other reviews mention, it’s not for those of a nervous disposition, but those that brave it will be rewarded with an honest and thought-provoking hour of theatre.

Seen Nature of the Beast 19.8.24. This is a hidden Gem of the fringe. A layered play dealing with current issues of misogyny,peer misogynistic behaviours, people trafficking, mental health vulnerability, nature verses nurture and dark comedic content. Very believable character interpretation and a must seen as a Fringe goer.

Loved it but this show is not for the faint hearted! It’s dark, funny, and sinister. Wonderfully written and acted. You quickly become immersed in this show and its realism hits you like a slap in the face! I was glad to see daylight when I left the theatre! Highly recommended.

Imagine the Hangover meets Filth.
The show does a wonderful job of lulling you into a false sense of security with its comedy before pulling the rug from under you on a wild ride through the mind of the protagonist.
Distracting you by pointing the finger at some of the uglier traits of todays society the outcome still catches you off guard.
With some real standout performances from a stellar cast, it’s a real new write to watch.
