Sweet Air

So sweet and charming, I loved the performances and the dialogue.... full review

Sweet Air is a beautifully uplifting piece with a whole lot of heart and just the right amount of nitrous oxide. Everything in this platon-com kept a smile on my face the entire time. The audience is wrapped into the world of a train stop at 3 am, and you can't help but root for the two waiting for their ride on the early morning after Valentine's day, charmingly portrayed by Newton Mayenge and Jenni Chiaramonte, whoms chemistry blended exquisitely throughout the entire piece. Terrific direction by Katie Oliver and wonderful writing by Matt Morillo.... full review

Sweet air is a smart Valentines Day story about a man and a woman, but instead of a cliche romance, it explores real connection and the budding of true friendship. ... full review

What a sweet, endearing hour of refreshingly platonic chemistry! Matt Morillo has struck gold with this beautifully written piece, with some charming performances by Jenni and Newton. ... full review

In an ocean of Fringe shows straining for spectacle, one of the best of the year is a simple story, very well told with genuine characters just trying to find a little...happiness. With two extremely endearing and talented leads, this stage rom-com (something quite difficult to pull of onstage!) presents two yearning, maybe slightly damaged people who thoroughly drill themselves into our hearts. Jenni and Newton have wild chemistry as actors! Really great!... full review

For those whose appreciate romantic comedies, Sweet Air has its own spin on the genre, and might very well be that breath of “sweet air” they are looking for in a Fringe year that is particularly loaded with darker and more tragic comedies. Matt Morillo’s play knows exactly what it is, which is no small thing. And it brings heart to the stage. Congrats to the team!... full review

Sweet Air is a really lovely platon-com (platonic comedy), a kind of Harry-Met-Sally-meets-Waiting-for-Godot (two people who could fall in love but don't, waiting for a train...). It's a lovely genre-pushing drama about two people looking for love and healing, reeling from past wounds, and staying in the moment to explore an uplifting connection with someone new. Great work!... full review

Sweet Air was humorous, serious, provocative, and highly entertaining! I will totally recommend this play to everyone I know!... full review

Super fun show. Well paced, unexpected, and very sweet. The perfect "anti-romcom". ... full review

A compassionate two hander that focuses on friendship without all the fuss of romance.... full review
