2019 Edinburgh Fringe
The South Afreakins: The Afreakin Family
Helene is excited to throw Gordon's birthday party, but Gordon isn't happy about turning 70. Rachel is excited to see her sister Kelly, but Kelly isn't happy to see Rachel. Clive meanwhile, is just happy to be invited. When the family (and Clive) reunite, old tensions lead to emotions erupting more often than the extravagant chocolate lava birthday cake. From the creator of the acclaimed sell-out hit, The South Afreakins, this poignant comedic solo show explores growing up, growing old and finding happiness when letting go is so hard.
