Weather Girl

Reviews / Votes

'A firecracker script... stupendous... electrifying... as good as solo shows get in Edinburgh' * WhatsOnStage * 'A breathtakingly intense five star show... searing... veers between the wildly comic, the poignant and the utterly horrifying... speaks the brutal truth about the world we now face, and does so in brilliantly theatrical and gripping style' * Scotsman * 'Spot-on... a smart, sharp one-woman show that looks set to follow the same gilded path as Fleabag and Baby Reindeer... features the same edgy atmosphere of darkness and growing unease beneath its anti-comic surface' * The Times * 'The hottest ticket at this year's Fringe... unsettling and thrillingly crafted... deftly moves between darkly comic and nightmarishly earnest' * Time Out * 'An apocalyptic comedy that gives a chilling forecast for a burning planet' * Guardian * 'The laughs keep coming... as weird as anything in the Phoebe Waller-Bridge stable... a piece that pushes way past the familiar comfort-zone of a modern-day confessional and turns into a topical vision of humanity wilting amid encroaching climate change... What begins as a whip-smart evocation of typical corporate hell journeys into an apocalyptic landscape that's at once meteorologically plausible and a manifestation of existential break-down' * Telegraph * 'The "hot mess" one-woman show gets hotter and messier... there are big, urgent themes packed into the show's spare, 60-minute running time... It's also very, very funny... Weather Girl is a worthy descendent of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag' * Evening Standard * 'A riot of a play - somehow both laugh-a-minute and deeply unsettling... Brian Watkins doesn't so much tap into climate anxiety as cracks it right open' * Broadway World * 'Simply stunning... Think Legally Blond mashed up with 70s satire Network, with an added dash of eco-warrior-style magical realism' * Reviews Hub * 'A sell-out sensation that certainly meets expectations... a blistering dark comedy... a masterclass in storytelling... gripping, moving and unexpected... Weather Girl will undoubtedly be a Netflix hit like Baby Reindeer' * West End Best Friend * 'Absolutely scorching... feels ceaselessly alive. Funny to start with and by the end sorrowful beyond words... Watkins's writing really is a masterclass' * London Theatre * 'A twisty unsettling thriller... Beyond the toxic smoke there's a magical, almost naive, sense of hope' * Fest Mag * 'Emotional, environmental, and existential crises collide in a whirlwind hour... a compelling piece of theatre that delivers on multiple fronts' * Broadway Baby * 'A triumph of dark comedy... genuine and important... extremely relevant and funny' * All That Dazzles *
