Awaiting Evaluation is an absurdist comedy by Berenson and Grech Productions, set in a high school administrative office where two students, Sid and Ali, wait endlessly for a principal who never arrives. The 60-minute show explores adolescent questions of identity, purpose and affection, with the pair caught in a perpetual limbo — always on the move but never quite moving on. Performed at Thistle Theatre as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the piece blends comedy with a Beckett-tinged sense of suspended time.
Why see this show?
For anyone who has ever been stuck waiting for something that never quite arrives, Sid and Ali's spinning limbo will ring true. It is a fresh, comedic take on adolescent identity — absurdist in spirit, grounded in the quiet anxiety of not knowing what comes next.
