Overwhelming
I can’t say whether I liked it or not - it was a very surreal experience for me. Frankly, this piece touched my soul in many uncomfortable ways. I think that may have been the point. I cried throughout the show and then let my guttural, fat, ugly sobs loose on the car ride home. I think this show is going to stick with me for awhile, for better or worse. So... thank you? At least I’ll have something to dig into at my therapy session tomorrow!...

Wonderful and powerful! A very relevant piece of theatre that I wish I would have seen when I was a teenager. It would have helped me and probably even saved some.

Riveting, raw, real & a riot Crack Whore, Bulimic, Girl Next Door opts for an anesthetic of darkest humour drawing you into a complex and beautiful story of healing and self-love.
I have never seen a dark story end with such beautiful hope, handled with grace & dignity. If you're a woman (or know one) who has been through the dark, this is the beautiful medicine you need this Fringe Season....
