EDFRINGE.COM AUDIENCE REVIEWS

A nicely written window into the private musings of the eponymous heroine. There is something in the monologue for every audience member to relate to, and it would be easy for the actress to let her script do the acting, but Melanie Sherwood takes the audience to her character's highs and lows with skill and confidence. A deft production that is well worth seeing.

This funny, moving and ultimately optimistic show is very well performed. All of us 'thirty something' girls will relate but it's not just one for the girls the 'bloke' enjoyed it as well! Go and see it!

This show is well-acted and funny and candidly lets us into the heart and mind of the character. Definitely worth seeing.

I went into this play with little more than a brief glance at a review and thought an I had some spare time I'd try it. Although it too easily could have been a 'chick-lit' play I really enjoyed it. The actress was brilliant and should really be in film or TV regularly with her ability. The play itself was warm, heartfelt and captivating. Brilliantly written. Well acted. Enjoyable. Go see. And as some other reviewer has written - she has a fantastic figure!
Andy B, England

One woman show… intimate venue… great acting and very funny! How did she ever put on lip liner without looking in a mirror! Left wondering what happens next in her life...and what a great set of boobs!

I really enjoyed this one woman show. It was intimate (like the venue), well acted and makes you think about the implications of growing older, relationships, feelings and divorce through someone else's eyes. Definitely recommended.
