Our binge-drinking club culture has accidentally created a room made for drama: the public toilets. For women, a lot goes down behind that swinging door, and here we’re treated with a full representation of the females of our time. Everyone has seen, and often been, at least one of these characters. The fashion show of personalities that stroll and totter in are wonderfully portrayed by the slick cast of five, and the hilarity is fresh because nothing is exaggerated. It’s funny, sad and there are few cringe-in-your-seat moments (especially for boys, who rarely enjoy knowing about the muckier aspects of being a girl) but ultimately it’s all there, and all real.
Underbelly, 4 – 28 Aug (not 15), 11.00pm (12.00pm), £8.00 – £10.50, fpp311.
