BY DAMIAN ROGERS FOR EYE WEEKLY
The day that this well-written and funny play chronicles actually belongs to Eddie (Timothy Walker), and Eddie is having a very shouty day indeed. He’s been fired from his lacklustre job only to be serially dumped by his shrill (and yet strangely lisping) girlfriend, his borderline-abusive AA sponsor and his wildly unorthodox therapist, sending him into the open, grasping arms of his enabling bartender. Walker invests sad-sack Eddie with enough dry snark to keep him afloat through one shitstorm after another while the whole cast digs happily into David Finley’s script, which is both crisp and clever. It’s a testament to the production’s darkly playful humour that it never descends into bitterness, even when the message is that only animals are worthy companions.
