Twice a Day

    “

    Twice a Day is a hilarious, zany romp that perfectly balances physical and spoken comedy. The dynamic among the four older women is delightful, and their antics with the antique clock are pure chaos. A great addition to any festival, with rich roles that let seasoned actors shine!

    A fun piece that manages to carry both spoken and physical comedy well. It's Zany, bordering on farce, and would be a welcome addition to any festival. With four excellent roles for older women, this would let their comedic chops shine. It's a breath of fresh air to see characters like this so fully developed.
