The List ★★★★
★★★★
"A sparkling cabaret about the experience of queer Caribbean women that will tickle your sides as much as it will touch your heart"
The Skinny
★★★★★
"Fast-paced and brimming with energy, this endlessly political show never stops being playful. Even when their tales are stained by sadness and shame, it remains a comedy about joy."
The Guardian
★★★★
"The reason the show is able to achieve a real sense of catharsis is not because it is an evening of bouncy escapism. The trauma it mines underneath the energy and the fun shows that joy often has to be found in spite of pain."
The Evening Standard
★★★★
“The trauma painted in Splintered has been utilised by Aboud and her team into the creation of their own “carnival of truths” which resists norms, challenges audience perceptions and celebrates queer love and joy. And it does so with serious flair.”
The Stage
Originally performed in the Edinburgh Fringe 2019, SPLINTERED was transferred to the Vault Festival in 2020 and made a triumphant London return in 2022 at the Soho Theatre.
