At moments laugh out loud lauding, then cringing in the despair of the human condition of these two characters who meet online.
Observantly and with poetic skill Declan captures the weirdness and angst of these people lives.
She is a forty something nurse, raising her kids solo encircled by massive credit card debt as she buys to fill the emotional void that is her life.
He is a computer hack, bored with the orneriness of his marriage and life. He seeks solace in the fantasy of internet pornography to deal with his unexplored and unvoiced anxiety.
This emptiness inevitably draws them together, seeking what each craves, only for them to wind up stripped bare in despair.
An excellent play!
Director Lee Lewis makes the most of the intimacy of the Stables Theatre.
Andrea Gibbs and Steve Rodgers deliver the pathos, anxiety of unmet needs and desires that go very deep great work !
I can highly recommend this fabulous play, it certainly sparkled my friends conversations with awe and connection as we shared our love experiences. 4/5.
Lovely summing up Pip. Awesome play :-)
