As a woman in her early thirties and living at her mum’s, Anna Thomas doesn’t go out much. She was tempted to recreate her bedroom onstage for this show but settles for pictures on a PowerPoint presentation. 3 Stars
There were laughs a plenty as Anna described being back at home with her mum as she watches friends move on to marriages, mortgages and motherhood while she navigates loneliness and rhubarb.
