Iphigenia in Splott

Extremely well written and very honest. Right from the get go it's hard not to be captivated by Hailey's character Effie. Hailey is on fire in this show as she takes us through Effie's life, crazy lifestyle, and the bizarre characters in her life. We follow Effie as she moves through her life over the course of a couple days leading to an extremely heartfelt and brutal ending. The pacing is fast and in your face as Hailey brilliantly navigates the space, alternating between talking to the audience and interacting with the people in her story.... full review

Do not miss this show. Hailey McAfee gives a knockout performance and Rosie Glen Lambert’s expert direction keeps the story clear, raw, moving and captivating. Playwright Gary Owen has crafted a play that is in turns funny, sexy, devastating, raunchy and deeply moving – through the very specific exploration of Effie’s life and an inflection point therein he illuminates broader social issues - not in a preachy way but in a way that sneaks up on you and will have you thinking about these people, this story, your own point of view for a long time to come. It’s a brilliant play and the entire team – including Brandon Blum (lighting design) and Padra Crisafulli (sound design) serve the writer masterfully. ... full review
