friendzone

Megan Phillips—Creative Manitoba

Written and performed by Sherri Elle, this is a deeply honest and uncomfortable view of what the friend zone looks like from the other side of the emotional manipulation and gaslighting. Four stories up in 245 McDermot, it isn’t the easiest venue to reach, however the small space provided to Sherri is definitely explored to great effect. [Editor Note: Ask the Fringe volunteers for the elevator if needed] There were some issues I had with the writing, namely the usage of mouth made static to replace certain names and places which grew a bit grating, but the back and forth conversations that comprised the bulk of the story were definitely well handled despite being a one woman show. It’s been a theme of this Fringe for me to recommend people read the content warnings, but uh, read the content warnings.
