The Understudy reflects a gleeful acceptance of inferiority rarely seen anywhere else.

There is a femme fatale actor behind it all who knows her worth + is seeking revenge

Quietly funny, unexpectedly moving and well worth seeking out at this year’s Fringe.

Incredibly well performed, heartwrenching, funny, and raw one-woman show. One of those pieces of theatre that leaves you feeling exposed in the BEST way. Eva's performance is enthralling, endearing, and artistically brilliant. The writing is impeccable. If you're an artist, in the arts world, I'm confident this show will speak to you.
