No Love Songs

Gave this 5*. Difficult and emotional issues sympathetically dealt with. Two very talented actors and singers guided the audience through. Very well done.

A raw and emotional portrayal of a woman’s battle with post natal depression. It’s great to see such an honest representation of the struggles woman can go through with regards to their reproductive health. This show is an emotional roller coaster, but well worth the journey. And the cast were perfect in their roles. 5 stars from me.

A sweet show, ... But yet another round of heterosexual-normative tales of falling in love, the challenges of 'baby's vrs work and depression... Urghh!!! Please can we have more diversity in our story telling from the Traverse... Urgh !!

I don't need drag dads with rainbow shows and 10 adopted, mixed sperm test tubes surrogacy babies but for goodness sake, please scrape the barrel clear of same old same old safe tales. 3/10

No Love Songs (***)
Two musicians fall in love, and then deal with the events of family life with the added pressure of his touring. My hearing really hindered my understanding of the lyrics of the many songs. The play does a really good job of describing the effects of post partum depression, but others agreed that the scene where he returns leaves the audience with an inaccurate impression that really disrupts the story when it is corrected later. I should note that many others that I polled gave it five stars, but two women gave it only three stars.


This is the 14th most enjoyable of the 28 shows I have seen so far at the Fringe this year. I hope to see almost 200. You may see my other three-sentence reviews, in order from most enjoyable to worst, at my non-commercial website: https://fringefan.com/
