What I liked
The writing is whip-smart—packed with unexpected turns, unapologetic truths, and those delicious “oh snap” callbacks that reward an attentive audience. But what elevates Ooops beyond a clever, well-crafted, full-circle narrative is its physicality. Atwood doesn’t just tell the story—she embodies it.
It’s clear she can take on much as a performer, and she does so with fearless precision and a remarkable sense of play.
What I didn't like
Nothing! Go crush in Edinburgh!
My overall impression
In a festival full of shows vying for your attention, Ooops earns it through honesty, originality, and a performer who truly understands how to hold a room—and herself—with both humor and humanity. It’s the kind of show that leaves you thinking, laughing, and—perhaps reluctantly—wondering what your own version of “oops” might be.
