16 TIME BEST-OF-FEST-PERFORMER, Wilcox returns with her 2006 hit show! From the creator of ‘The Honeymoon Period is Officially Over’ (2009 & 2014), ‘52 Pick-Up’ (2011), & ‘Magical Mystery Detour’ (2013).
Shadows lurk, jealousy seethes, plants talk & seeds grow…
Wilcox embodies 22 spirited characters as she unfolds the life (and subconscious) of a young woman on the edge of her independence. Out of the shadows & onto the stage Wilcox transforms seamlessly from male to female, from kid to crustacean, from flora to fauna in her most compelling tale yet.

-Times Colonist

"The cast surfaces out of Wilcox at a protean pace, but always with remarkable clarity...The comedy is constant but never abandons the sensitivity with which Wilcox wrote the play as a whole...None of this would be possible without Wilcox's remarkable talent for mime...There's a rigorous polish to the staging that dazzles...Wilcox earns her standing ovation and the heaps of praise the audience hummed with the moment their hands fell silent. There simply
is no solo show like it anywhere else."
- Christopher Felling, PLANK Magazine (Victoria)
"A tense, moving and remarkably accomplished account of a relationship. What puts Wilcox into the elite of soloists is the
economy, wit, ingenuity and sheer quicksilver precision with which she distinguishes some 20 characters on a bare stage...
