About this show
Pajama Talks is a coming-of-age story following childhood best friends Abby and Nina as they relive memories of their sleepovers. Together they are forced to confront their friendship, their girlhood and their personal identity. The show examines the joys and hardships of growing up and grief in all forms, asking the question: are the people we’ve loved and lost still with us? A play about platonic love, figuring out life and existential conversations in the middle of the night.

— The Smu Reviews (4 out of 5 stars)
The simple but powerful staging is highly effective and the acting universally excellent.
— Fernyhough Arts Review (4 out of 5 stars)
The timing, pace and acting are stunning throughout. Beneath the gentle humour runs a heart-rending thread of coming to terms with loss, played out with real understatement, and a quiet focus on what we choose to hold…
