Ten-tickles My Fancy

Heart-warming and hilarious. Shawarma shop owners and friends tell a story of displacement and longing for a homeland that holds meaning for so many. Dance scenes were moving - one with the elderly auntie (who's mind seems lost and in a land all her own) and another that transported us to a nostalgic old world market. Their whacky journey home finds the ladies bumping into a bunch of absurd characters (some deliciously uncomfortable, some super dramatic - all ridiculous and funny). Music was very cool. Strong singing, and musicians playing live along with pre-recorded tracks added much to the production. Felt good to be cracking up along with the rest of the audience. You'll leave believing in the magic of kindness.
