Tatiana Pandiani

Fish

October 16, 2026

Set in London in the summer of 2016, when Brexit looms and the world seems to be tilting toward a new and more openly hostile political order, "Fish" follows a young woman whose efforts to escape the claustrophobia of her private life lead her into an international web of radicalism, deception, and potential catastrophe. The play’s many concerns do not always coalesce as seamlessly as they might, and some of its metaphors announce themselves rather too emphatically, but its humor, emotional intelligence, and increasingly unnerving sense of danger make it a distinctive coming-of-age drama.

Doménica Feraud who has also written "Rinse, Release" has made a career of writing about very human psychological problems. While "Someone Spectacular" is rather untheatrical in its presentation as there are no fireworks which you might have expected in the situation, the characters become more absorbing as we get to know them, their stories and their problems. Not only is it all very real but it is easy to identify with one or the other as we all have gone through some loss in our lives. Tatiana Pandiani’s direction is smooth and fluid if a bit too serene. Some may also find the play comforting if they are going through the same thing or have suffered a loss recently. For the record, that title is explained near the end when Thom states “I lost someone spectacular” which how all the characters feel about their losses. [more]
