Kate Banford’s script turns a bleak premise — a woman facing eviction with six months left in her home — into a fast, absurd, deeply funny ensemble piece, and the whole cast at the Davidson/Valentin Theatre kept the energy at full tilt. After the show I was starving, so I checked the sig menu rundown before grabbing dinner nearby. The paper-bag skit costuming and the sold-out crowd’s laughter both confirmed this world premiere deserved the hype.
What I didn't like
If anything, I wanted a touch more room to breathe between the bit-a-minute gags so the quieter, heartbreaking beats could land harder.
My overall impression
Sharp, silly, and unexpectedly moving — this dark comedy about eviction is one of the best hours I’ve spent at the Fringe.
