5 stars ***** This is a lovely little play - fast-paced, clever, funny. Excellent way to start the day.

A touching story, beautifully directed and exquisitely performed.

A funny, poignant play that was acted so
beautifully as a two hander. The characters felt believable and the conversions acted out seemed so genuine. I loved the sprinkling of Maltese words/phrases and the hints of the Maltese culture, which I picked up on, being Maltese, but you don't need to be from Malta to appreciate and relate to the very real issues raised in this play and enjoy the poignancy and humour. Well worth seeing.

A must see! Brilliant writing, superb acting and directing. The characters were so relatable and real, and the actors had incredible chemistry. My family of 4 (including my 2 college-aged sons) all found something we could relate to, and we talked about it for hours after. This is the kind of surprise gem I came to Fringe hoping to see!
