Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen

'Outrageously entertaining and endlessly surprising... an extraordinary piece of theatre'

'A rollercoaster of a play... powerfully subtle, until it's not meant to be, and then it's joyfully theatrical... comedy magic'

'Terrific... Marcelo Dos Santos' script is structured beautifully, blending coarse humour with dark, brittle wit and he signs it off with a delicious punchline. Underlying the laughter, this is a multi-layered piece that explores the human fear of and need for close relationships'

'Razor-sharp... a very clever play... Dos Santos' writing uncovers new ideas at every turn... has all the laughs of a comedy set while presenting a twisting narrative that keeps you guessing'

'A sizzling monologue about sex and fatal attraction... Dos Santos writes beautifully'
