Notes:
Winner of the Chapters Best text Award At the St. Ambroise Montreal Fringe festival, "This five-woman show is A breath of fresh reality-filled Air. It's not just the Alternative to the Sex And the City movie; it's the real thing. the show is five women in one woman's mind. they each represent An emotion After A bad break-up: Denial, bargaining, Anger, depression And Acceptance. It's in-your-face raw emotions And you will laugh with them And cry with them, especially if you can see yourself in one of the characters, which some women certainly will. the use of dance And movement, Allegory And humour, And tears And rage All feels natural And real And yet incredibly entertaining. Nothing feels Affected or fake with these extraordinary five Actors." - Brett Bundale [the Gazette - June 2008]
