I long resisted seeing this as I thought it would be too slapstick for me.

How wrong I was.

A brilliant night's entertainment with an hilarious script and some brilliant audience "plants".  I could watch this time and time again.  Hmm, an alternate career beckons ...  I wonder what you can get paid to sit in the audience every night and offer up a hummus sandwich?

Belvedere, White Bear Theatre Club

This was a great production by GunPowder Theatre with a pared-down set.  An playwright and hospitalised psychiatric patient is visited by a woman from his past.  Physical evidence of their encounters never remains for the doctor to see, albeit always for logical reasons.  What is real and not real merge into one. 

I remember we were impressed by the acting and engaged by the plot.
