All the Ways To Tell You

All the Ways To Tell You is a devised theatrical work, brought to Fringe World for a short season by new company, All The Ways Theatre Company. Gentle, honest and sweet, it looks at all the ways to tell people how you feel about them. 

After Dark, a new Fringe venue for 2021, is an intimate venue, which is up 57 stairs - and feels like a space where you might see slam poetry or folk music - which is appropriate, as there are elements of both in this interesting little piece.

Highlights included Emily Burton’s lovely folk singing and guitar playing, Bec Weldon’s story of (not) writing to Tom Lehrer, Ella Thompson’s great insights into body positivity and self-love and Lachlan McNeil’s lovely presence and genuine laugh.

A fusion of music, vignettes, spoken word poetry and video interviews - it is well constructed and a great concept. More volume throughout - from all of the actors, and from the video would have helped this production to reach its full potential - as when competing with a labouring air conditioner, we lost some key moments.

A company with great potential and a fresh, youthful and inclusive vibe - I look forward to seeing future work.
