Liz Carr's first outing as a playwright has definitely set her on the starting rung of the Becket ladder.
To say this is a bitter sweet production is an understatement, more like a mix of bile and laughing gas. One minute she had the audience rocking with side-splitting laughter the next doubled up in excruciating gut-wrenching guilt.
Liz knows no fear; meeting uncomfortable issues head on she strikes with the speed of an Asp juggling our emotions in an almost intolerable way. Her treatment of Disability Comedy takes no prisoners and finally buries the whole matter of self depreciation once and for all.
Liz plays with the surreal; fencing with disembodied voices that taunt and harangue her to near breaking point but she never loses her inimitable spirit.
This is not the last you are going to hear of Liz Carr, comedian, poet, philosopher and considering that this is her first attempt at scriptwriting, brilliant playwright.
It was a privilege to be at the launch of her new career if it comes round your way don't miss it!
