WINNER: BEST in FESTIVAL AWARD, OTTAWA FRINGE FESTIVAL 2024 Five 100% sold out shows & >90% of seats sold out for all seven shows

“Poignantly written by Andrew Riddles with Elle Attson’s smooth direction”

Harold Swaffield and Kim Blanche as Brian and Leslie expertly demonstrate domestic quirks, and brewing inclinations to branch out of familiarity.”

“But there’s also an aching amount of social thoughtfulness, striking a sentimental balance to the humour.”

Blanche is both hilarious and strong-willed as Leslie, whether brutally chopping vegetables or chatting about her husband to her sister, Amanda (played by a spunky Heather Evens).”

“Riddles impeccably weaves comedy with feeling. The result is laughter, and a desire to  break out of society-imposed conformities.”

This original play, written by Andrew Riddles, enjoyed a sell-out run Ottawa Fringe Festival, June 13-23 2024.

Directed by Elle Attson and Andrew Riddles

“All the characters in the play are super relatable and could be people you know.” – Heather Evens (Amanda)

“This play has given me an opportunity for immense growth in my art. It is an intimate cast with intimate, but also universal themes. The directing has been first class, exhausting and exhilarating. I have played a variety of roles with some fantastic community theatres around Ottawa but this is the first role that has allowed me to engage such a range of emotions.” – Kim Blanche (Leslie)
