Reviews
“Lia Davies kicked the audience in the face with her portrayal of Rona. What a performance. The facial expressions that Davies treated the audience to kept them in fits of laughter. The sexual nature of Rona was brought to life by Davies and was perfectly paired with her moments of depression.”
Lachlan Boyes - Magic Ant Network | Read full review here
“The cast delivered excellent comic and tragic performances, with Matthew Filkins as Larking, Lia Davies as Rona, and Greg Scurr as Gregory and the Playwright being especially notable. All of the actors drew a richness and complexity from their characters, as well as playing a version of themselves to interact with the Playwright.”

“Lia Davies is superbly sexy, but vulnerable too. The moments of tenderness that Rona allows herself to show with nice-but-dim stage designer, Gregory (Greg Scurr) are completely touching.”
