When it serves a purpose above that of mere entertainment (a noble enough purpose, one supposes), drama sheds a light on the human condition, highlighting some aspects and shrouding others in darkness.

What? - What an amazing show of engaging storytelling. The cast present a seamless intertwining of their personal adventures that are often emotional and heartbreaking yet fun and funny too. A very talented ensemble! Extra fun - you can nab some yummy treats after the show which the actors feature in a very funny “commercial break”. Definitely one of the highlights of the Fringe festival. I highly recommend!... full review
