- Yet Another Venture
Sisters Joan and Millie have always been close. Ever the dutiful daughters and wives, they decide to take a break from it all one evening and try hallucinogens. When things don’t go as planned and the two start to panic, their unreliable brother David unexpectedly comes to the rescue.
With nothing to do but talk all night, the three siblings find themselves reminiscing about their childhood and reflecting on their current lives. With their guards down, the siblings come together to heal childhood wounds and strengthen a bond weakened by the unexpected turns of life.
This story felt deeply personal while having many accessible moments of real and raw emotions. The dynamics between the sibling trio felt all too relatable for those who have siblings. Very well written and captivating. The male lead was a stand out and felt authentic. Great job to the entire cast and crew.
Enjoyed it immensely! All three actors did a great job inhabiting their roles, and Joan especially felt like the glue holding the trio together, both as an eldest sibling and a performer, and she effortlessly carries the momentum forward. Millie has an understated but grounding presence in the cast and some of the cutest moments in the script delivered perfectly. David’s actor brought the perfect ratio of humour and pathos to his character with a very natural ebb and flow between those two emotional poles. The writing was sharp and resonant and believable and it all felt like a window into a very relatable scenario for anyone with siblings. Well done all around.
A beautifully well written and well acted play. The story has such depth of raw emotion in addition to its funny antics. 9/10!
Didn’t expect to cry, thought it was a comedy! But I was pleasantly surprised, beautiful acting and story. Related heavily to the youngest, the mediator.
This show, though unrealistic in concept (and often in delivery) was fun. It starts off quite funny but this humour tapers off to make way for some tender moments that many could connect with. The actors did a decent job of captivating the audience in their roles but I was craving more comedic relief, an important element when touching on the subject of suicide; when in the category of Dramedy. I hope this group of burgeoning thespians keep crafting their art because they are ones to keep an eye on.
Brought this old guy to tears.
saw this on the 18th, venue was criminally empty because this show was one of the best i’ve seen. i’ve never done drugs, or have siblings, but the show was very funny and moving. highly recommended
Amazing job by all; the male lead was stand-out. This show felt like a hidden gem..
this show has got it all, humour, emotional bonding, the complexities of grief and family, live art and DRUGS! Great way to start my morning fringing
A beautiful story, much more emotional than I thought it would be. The girl in the glasses (sorry I’m forgetting the name!) was hilarious, and the two leads were deeply moving. 7/10
