This is the world premiere of an edgy and spikily amusing anatomy of a family: four individuals struggling to make meaning out of their ruptured lives. They come and go, wavering between past and present, between reality and fantasy, unable to connect. In this frantic journey we glimpse the stories of WOMAN and MAN who try to come to terms with loneliness and aging, and their outrageous relationship with their children, BOY and GIRL, who are left to find their voice in a ferocious, profoundly desperate and yet magical world.

| News and Reviews for this Show 
| August 22, 2012 The Stage | | Review | | Niki Orfanou’s edgy scenes from the life of a dysfunctional family is an intriguing piece of new writing that often catches you unawares. In avoiding the usual stereotypes of family disintegration, this four-hander looks at the long-term damage on parents and their children that arises from a simple lack of communication. Click Here |
| August 21, 2012  Three Weeks | | Review | | A dynamic story of four broken lives: the lonely Woman, frustrated Man, terrified Girl and drunken Boy. This free Fringe play has a clever way of keeping the audience entranced, weaving between past and present, reality and fantasy worlds. It was too simple at times, missing out points in the narrative I for one would have liked to have known, such as the age of the girl. Each character has his or her own story to tell and this edgy, dark comedy resonated a little with everyone. Whether it be the image of the fractured family, or the individual stories themselves; the universal themes of loneliness, frustration and wanting one’s voice to be heard in volatile times, the audience understands. |
