Tessa is nie onder ’n kalkoen uitgebroei nie. Sy wéét vanaand se funksie en die belaglike ‘toekenning vir lewenslange bydrae’ wat sy ontvang, is om subtiel te sê haar tyd is verby. Tessa gaan nie opdaag nie en die stotterende Thomas het sy hande vol om haar te oortuig om tog te gaan. Holm en Smith speel die verhoog vuurwarm in hierdie stuk oor seekatte en wat ons doen om oukei te wees. Daar is baie om oor te lag, maar vir balans, ook heelwat om oor te huil.

Tessa was not born yesterday. She knows that tonight’s event and the ridiculous ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ she’s receiving, subtly say that her time is over. Tessa will not show up, and the stuttering Thomas has his hands full trying to convince her to attend. Holm and Smith light up the stage in this play about octopuses and what we do to be okay. There’s plenty to laugh about, but for balance, there is also quite a bit to cry about.
