A dark and
moving play, Ross and Rachel trials the highs and lows of modern love and a
woman’s struggle to forge an identity outside of her relationship status.
Not at all
comical or frivolous like the title may suggest, James Fritz’ play is told by
just one performer, Molly Vevers, who shines in this production. Blending
effortlessly between the husband and wife of this story, she is a captivating
and emotional performer who is utterly magical in this tight and tense play.
Simply staged in
the Assembly Box venue, the audience are taken on her roller-coaster journey as
she attempts to be a good wife, support her dying husband and suppress feelings
for “Daniel”.
Ross and Rachel
packs a punch with one of the strongest, stand out performances of the Fringe.
