Love At Fast Sight
“How do you want your eggs in the morning; scrambled or fertilized?”
For those of us who have never experienced the weird and, well… weird world of Speed Dating, this play confirms our worst fears: Olivia Ansell’s hilarious short play seems more like a cautionary tale than an endorsement.

Without doubt it is a beautifully crafted work wonderfully staged and directed in this production.
