About the show
Ripple Theatre presents Uncorked, a dark comedy piece of new writing staged at The Saloon Bar. Best friends since primary school, Kate and Nadia have maintained a sacred monthly ritual of cheap wine and bad TV since their teens. As their mid-twenties approach, the cracks in both their lives and their tradition begin to spill open. Kate fears moving forward; Nadia fears falling behind. With three potential fathers in the picture and the clock ticking, one particular Friday changes everything. The play explores fertility, friendship and falling out of sync with your own life.
Why see this show?
A sharply observed two-hander about female friendship under pressure, Uncorked is honest, funny and unsettling in equal measure — the kind of new writing that catches you off guard with how much it gets right about life in your twenties.
