REVIEW: Secret Life Of Humans, Edinburgh Fringe ✭✭✭✭
Secret Life Of Humans is a wonderful piece of storytelling that is thought-provoking and often funny, directed with élan by its writer David Byrne with Kate Stanley and devised by the company.

When the stage is abuzz with all 14 of the cast, it fairly bristles with an often astonishingly high level of Fifties glamour, making it far and away the most spectacular production we have seen at this address in a long time
It’s a show with heart and soul, and a serious celebration of being who you are. We won’t be hearing the last of this queen of a musical.
Out of Love is an emotional rollercoaster, at times very funny, sometimes devastatingly moving. Intelligently written and flawlessly staged
At times brutally graphic and always gripping, the writing is sharp and honest, confirming this as an impressive piece from someone we are sure to hear more of.
There is some fun audience participation, and although the cougar could have been more strongly unleashed in places, this is a soothing gem of an hour, very well performed.
So, take it for what it is, please, because it is never going to be anything else. It’s a tough ride, but an interesting one, and impeccably presented.
It is also refreshing to see a play in which the sexuality of a same sex couple is irrelevant, love and loss are the central themes
