50 minutesMain Space
At 40 years old, Chris Davis seizes on ballet class as a way to replace all other addictions – drugs, alcohol, Modern Family and the toxic tropes of 90s John Cusack movies. With only a barre for support, Fringe favourite Chris Davis mixes dance and storytelling in a 50-minute comedy that shows you change is always possible, no matter what your age. 'The kind of innovative spirit that the Fringe was originally created to showcase' **** (List).
