About this show
Faced with limitless opportunity, the start of the rest of your life ahead, with endless questions that have no right answer. What else is there to do but take solace in the outrageous company of a meaningful companion? A high school administrative office, rules, routine, superiors and peers. In this world, Sid and Ali are left to their adolescent quandaries of identity, purpose and affection, turning in a perpetual limbo, waiting in vain for the principal's arrival. Always on the move but never quite moving on, Sid and Ali continuously spin in place.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 3 published reviews and 15 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
Two boys are waiting outside the headmaster’s office of their boarding school. They are in trouble for climbing the chapel roof, and are awaiting their punishment from the principal, but they have no idea when that will…
This show is dangerously funny while also being dangerously familiar, high school will never be easy, but it’s harder when you’re in the principal’s office.
— Entertainment Now (4 out of 5 stars)
It’s nice to see a talk-y play at Fringe done really well, and this one is. This company is young but extremely mature. It’s worth a watch while you’re out here. I hope they have many more shows on the horizon.
