About Brava Guava
Hater is a new dark comedy by Brava Guava, performed at The Penny during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The play follows two women with CPTSD who begin stalking another woman as a way of feeling better about themselves, accidentally turning all their lives around in the process. This three-hander explores the lasting impact of domestic abuse, the challenges of sisterhood and the origins of untameable rage, weaving together anime music and a Muay Thai fight. Fast-paced and emotionally charged, it charts a convoluted journey towards healing for ages twelve and over.
Why see this show?
Brava Guava finds something genuinely moving beneath the anarchic surface of their premise. A show about anger and healing that refuses to be straightforwardly earnest makes for a refreshingly unpredictable sixty minutes.
