Description

There are three rules every housewife knows: never return a dish empty, always have dinner ready by the time he gets home, and some things are best kept under the table. After all, you never know who’s listening. You’ve heard whispers of absent husbands? Missing children? Spaghetti recipes? Or was it scones? You just can’t trust everything you hear through the walls these days. The 2023 Fringe First Award Show returns for a limited run.

I absolutely LOVE Xhloe and Natasha. This show has everything: absurdism, time loops, awesome movement sequences, amazing lights, green spaghetti, and cannibalism!

The SMU Reviews (5/5 stars) 185 days ago

This absurdist peek below the hood of suburbanite housewives has many of the same hallmarks as their previous piece – vintage Americana, a tug-of-war relationship and characters unable or unwilling to express their true desires – but this time the unravelling breakdown is far more nightmarish and the edges hinted at around the story darker and more disturbing.
