You’re cordially invited to the wedding of the year! Whether you're a fan of Amelie or When Harry Met Sally “You’ll be laughing, throwing confetti, and tapping your toes to this clever, fun performance.” (★★★★ - Fringe Feed).
Britt Plummer's bittersweet long-distance love story’s a "Delectable and thought provoking” (★★★★ - Edinburgh Festival Magazine), heartbreakingly hilarious show which fuses storytelling, puppetry, and clowning into a modern-day fringe rom-com, “....may do for hand sanitisers what Ghost did for pottery” (★★★★ - Event Adelaide).
There will be BANANAS.
