Steven Morton

For all the talk of fairies, David John Phillips is a spectacularly grounded actor. He holds a moment masterfully and a breath or a glance can be sumptuous. The show itself uses deliciously florid wit and candor to convey vivid and titillating insight into the intimacy, struggles and joy of gay men in different eras. The content is somewhat niche and perhaps not broadly relatable, but still we find entertaining and meaningful storytelling as well as an opportunity to understand the lived experience of another human. I came away from this performance thoughtful and hopeful.

Alisha's Light is truly apparent throughout this show. But she doesn't shy away from struggles and intriguing moments of self discovery. She stands in the power of authenticity and candour. It can be difficult for cis-gender people to understand the trans experience which is why this is important theatre. Not only that but Alish's spoken work poetry is well-crafted and well-delivered. Particularly powerful was a piece I believe was called "Passing." Heartily recommend.

Stuart does a great job of delivering comedic punchlines to episodes in his life but also adeptly conveys the difficulty of various struggles; not only weight gain/loss but also financial, career, family, grief and loss. There are a lot of relatable themes in this show but perhaps most especially for anyone dealing with the chronic illness of a loved one.
