Fray

Hafsa Hoosaney's NNNN review of Fray from NEXT Magazine.

The family dynamic will never be the same. The three person cast delivers exceptional and very memorable performances. The inventive and highly creative use of 'ropes' reinforces the way our lives are so intertwined. Run, don't walk to their next showing. Highly recommend. I think I need some milk for my coffee....

Vicious and hilarious, Maia Greco as lonely daughter Meg will break your heart!

So lovely to see these star actors work so (un)well as a family! Impressed with the set (Philip Ratcliff) and costumes (Jamin Daniel)

The show is a sometimes comical, but ultimately tragic exploration of a family's dysfunction. The acting is stellar and you will feel real empathy and real disapproval of the characters. Each family member is both exposed for their emotional cruelty and their humanity. Excellent!!!

This show is a must see. I laughed, I teared up, I clutched my invisible pearls. Mel Pyne and Tim MacLean are hilarious and terrifying in equal measure. Maia Greco left me feeling just as vulnerable and desperate for freedom as she portrays so eloquently

Wow. Even from the first minutes siting in the theatre with all these ropes tied the actors together, you know you will be in for a treat. It is so well written (and played), you become part of the living room of this completely dysfunctional (and yet darkly funny) family. I suggest you run to this play before it gets sold out as the venue is small.

A fascinating and unexpected approach to how it feels like to grow up and grow old with the family you were born into. Arrive early if you're short, a good portion of the narrative needs to be seen & not just heard. I was waiting for one more event - the use of ties that bind entangling this familiar family dynamic without changing or being changed by it left me feeling like Chekhov's gun never fired.
