REVIEW: THERE IS NO ANGER LIKE THAT OF A WOMAN

When a banker walks into a brothel and pays for an hour with the most expensive woman, what he gets is not what either of them expected. Witty, thought-provoking and full of undeniable chemistry, There Is No Anger Like That of a Woman is a show about desire, power, and a woman trying to win an unbeatable game.

Playwright and actor Grace Delamere has crafted a powerful and provocative drama that effectively challenges its audience with its subject matter. It forces the audience to sit with uncomfortable realities that women face, the contradictory nature of religion and its practitioners and the power one can achieve through desire. It is easily one of the best pieces of writing and execution at this year's Fringe.

Delamere has created two characters that are relatable, surprising and strong-willed courageously brought to life by the charismatic pairing of Liam Armstrong as Adam and Delamere herself as Eve. There is intense chemistry between them the entire show that make intimate, vulnerable moments almost feel like a release. Despite the serious nature of the show’s themes, there are times when their discussions are playful and humorous too, adding to the terrific onstage allure between them.

There is No Anger Like That of a Woman is a truly brave, boldly written, and powerfully delivered production at this year’s Fringe and will leave audiences with a great deal to reflect upon post-show. Let this one challenge and entice you. You won’t regret it.
