About this show
Eliana's always felt different – and not in a cute way. In fact, she's grown up with a dark secret: she's almost definitely a sociopath. After receiving a teeny-weeny restraining order for stalking her captivating neighbour Tabitha, she has two weeks to convince the court, and herself, that she's "normal". A semi-autobiographical comedy (zero history of stalking!) about masking, misdiagnosis and the consequences of spending 30 years believing there's something wrong with you. (Also dead parents, queer identity, Jewish identity and being too tall... in no particular order.) By Abigail Weinstock (Such Brave Girls, BBC. Surface, Apple TV).

Giraffe is both undeniably hysterical and deeply moving, it is sure to be a Fringe-favourite for anyone, you simply must see it.
— Ed Fringe Review (5 out of 5 stars)
With some further plot development, Giraffe could very easily make the transition to a television streaming series.
— Rialto Arts (5 out of 5 stars)
Semi-autobiographical, I found the story fascinating and the storytelling and performance perfectly pitched.
