Online dating can be exhausting – especially when you have to keep ‘active’ across social media. How do we decipher between the Prince Charming’s and Tinder fails of this world? Honestly, wouldn’t it be better if we could just marry pizza?  That would literally  be an eat your heart out love story, still better than Twilight.

The fun, quirky and very real ‘Update’ is back for another limited event! Based on true dating experiences and events, this one-woman show is really your perfect match for entertainment.  Get to know our superstar Becky (with the good hair) and laugh your way through ten minutes of truth! Audiences have really loved the humour in this play and we hope you will too!

Reviews and Feedback



“Is this a comedy sketch masquerading as a one person play – or is it, as we believe it to be, a very clever one person play using the form of a comedy sketch? The play is wonderfully directed by Elodie Boal. It is a theatrically slick and funny piece.”
Margery and Michael Forde, Adjudicator at Sunshine Coast Theatre Alliance Festival

“The script is hilarious and very well put together. Effective use of emphasis to bring out the meaning of the words. Outstanding commitment to comedy… I think a lot of young women would find this very relatable.”
Kiesten McCauley, Adjudicator at Beenleigh One Act Play Festival
