I went last night and really loved this. It's funny, touching and emotional.
Starring Josie Lawrence, Joanne Howarth, Gemma Brodrick, Nana Amoo-Gottfried, Mickey Jones and Nathan McMullen.
Sisters Sylvie and Garnet live together. Sylvie's mental health has been very fragile for a long time, and Garnet has always looked after her.
Sylvie is a Norma Desmond-style character, who thrives on her self-styled fame as an unnamed girl in one episode of Z Cars, and thinks the world revolves around her.
It's Garnet's birthday, and the guests are arriving:
- Mickey-Joe and Lee Lee - Sylvie's sons born 20 years apart
- Alyssa, Lee Lee's relatively new girlfriend
- Frankie, Mickey-Joe's boyfriend of 20 years
As the celebratory drinks start to flow, secrets and revelations come out:
Was Garnet and Sylvie's father really a philanthropist?
Why was their mother wearing a sling the day she left?
Was Lee Lee and Mickey-Joe's father really the same man, an artist who only visited Sylvie twice?
How old was Sylvie when she had Mickey-Joe?
What secret has Garnet been hiding?
Why are Lee Lee and Alyssa acting so suspiciously?
It was an intimate performance, and so well acted.
On till 9th October 2021.
