A huge hit from the 2008 Festival. A woman sits alone in a café. Her friend (her sister? her lover?) appears, late, flustered. They greet each other and sing together. They take off their coats. They are wearing the same clothes. Thereafter, they provoke one another, needle one another, bully one another, support each other and enjoy one another’s company. Clearly they have a shared past.

“quite brilliant. They gossip, compete, sympathise and conduct a hilarious singing lesson in unison and counterpoint. Witty, touching and virtuosic, it’s a little gem.” Sunday Telegraph
