Claire Hooper: Plums

Although it was sad to say au revoir to Good News Week, it's great to see the lovely Claire Hooper doing her own thing. Plums is all about that: Plums. And all the different forms this stone fruit comes in. Hooper pays particular focus to plums being a metaphor for balls, and her realisation that she needs to grow a pair. This show really highlights Hooper's amazing abilities as a writer, with each story connecting to the others to create something bigger. Her humour is witty and smart and is best suited for an audience who are quick to get the joke. Unfortunately performing in a smaller venue made audience members feel the need to interject and appeared to cut off Hooper's flow, creating some awkward moments. If you like smart ladies, or natural fibre then this is the show for you.
