Sofar

Thought provoking and emotional performance
Brilliantly acted
Overall absolutely fantastic

So well acted and written. It really felt like they were on a boat and there was a whale. And so many messages to takeaway and discuss later. Both girls were brilliant. I loved it. Best thing I’ve seen this year out of the 19 seen so far and I’ve seen a few very good ones.

A very moving and maturely-written piece - highly recommended. Sensitively directed with great pace and lovely snippets of humour. Outstanding performances from Martha Edwards and Lucy Whelan as Sadie and Alma.

Superbly crafted, incredibly designed, wonderfully acted. Can’t say enough good things about it. Unlike anything else I’ve seen at the fringe so far. Congrats to all involved - you’ve made a truly stunning moving piece.

A beautiful, touching, incredibly performed play. The whole production was watertight and immersive, technically and emotionally. Masterful development of imagery and themes in the very natural writing. Super compelling characters - I wanted to crawl onstage with them and hold their hands. All in all a stunning play, very moving, healing, and excellent bursts of comedy amongst the emotion. I recommend it for anyone who feels lonely, craves sisterhood, or has academic trauma.

A wonderful play in so many ways. It managed to be incredibly human but with so much to say about being alive, about the future.

Beautifully acted, directed and written play. It was moving and funny in equal measures. Best thing I have seen on the fringe this year. I’m still thinking about its themes of the fragility of life, commitment, friendship, dedication, passion. A gem. Don’t miss it.

Oh wow. Believe the hype. I cannot believe I saw this in the basement of the church, SOFAR is so well polished it felt ready for the big stage. Beautifully alive writing, fantastically balanced performances, and tech so immersive that at one point, when all the lights where switched off, I still felt like I was there on the boat. A complete control on atmosphere. My showing had a standing ovation, and it was totally deserved. See it now so you get bragging rights for later!!

A beautifully crafted and deeply moving gem of a play. Sofar draws on the deep connection between humans and animals, touching on issues of mortality and grief. It is funny and sad in equal measure, and the young creative team pull off a very mature and we'll-honed performance - there wasn't a dry eye in the house! This is a play that will sit with you for a long time - highly recommended.

5 Stars, would give it more if we could! best show we’ve seen. PHENOMENAL Performances, masterful writing, most people cried leaving the theatre - it was so heartfelt. Everything was directed and performed with so much passion and heart and love. We were absolutely blown away. Wow!

An absolute must see. Such a powerful and moving story told with impeccable performances by Martha Edwards and Lucy Whelan. The writing is flawless, subtle and sheds a new and blinding light on the experiences of living with a disability like I’ve never seen before in theatre. An emotional and necessary watch. 5 stars!!

An incredibly moving play that had the audience captivated with a sense of calm and melancholy from the start. Brilliantly performed, directed, designed, and written, an absolute must see.

This show is telling such an important story that isn’t told enough. The writing, direction and performances are captivating. Do not miss this show!
