What I liked

Love the group work, they are so tuned and together. Each clown’s personality shines in the time we get to spend with them. They have such a joy being on stage, it’s v infectious. Also really love the story of the piece and the Many Many Many imaginative twists and turns we take to get into it. I felt like a kid, totally engaged and loving the entire show. Also adored the set pieces and sound/tech, maybe the best i’ve seen in the Black Box?

What I didn't like

No Notes honestly. Will love to see this again. I’m sure one day will be in a bigger venue, feel lucky I got to see it here.

My overall impression

7 lady clowns hit emotional, spontaneous, physical, funny, beautiful, and wild beats, one after another, in a nearly non-stop, well paced show. So Happy this premieres in our Fringe this year, I’m sure it will go on to others. It’s the best sort of work Fringe can be all about. Wholly original, never slow or plodding – gorgeous, generous, and fun with a sincerely emotional core – really really great.
