Synopsis (from the flyer):

Annie Byron reveals the heart-hazards of social network dating as experienced by a fifty something single woman. Based on Andee Jones best selling book Kissing Frogs, RU4Me brings a humorous twist to those pressing questions about love such as, why is it so hard to find and even harder to keep? Is romantic love the impossible dream and how do you know Mr Right even when you find him? Directed by Wayne Harrison one of Australia’s most entertaining directors, RU4Me will be a laugh filled show, perfect for a fun night out.

My Thoughts:

This was a delightful performance - although I have to wonder if the men in the audience thought so because a large part of the humour was savaging individual men who did not ‘measure up’.
As it deals with the universal need, and search, for companionship it was off to a good start. Add to that the effervescent performance of Ms Byron, lots of genuine humour (including a lot of in-jokes about Sydney suburbs that I have not lived in Sydney long enough to get) and a good story - with a happy ending - and this was definitely a fun night out.
I’ll be keeping an eye out for anything else that Annie Byron or Wayne Harrison are involved in because they both seem to have a keen eye for good theatre - and a talent for producing it.
