A fun show that hits its bases with verve, elevated by a terrific cast and neat staging. Hyper-local inner north / hipster-adjacent (or outright immersed) Melbourne mores plus some of the specificities of being Asian-Australian / of migrant background in that context, all of which is very piquant and recognisable for me; of course, the irony and appropriateness (the two go hand in hand here) of seeing it at the Malthouse is embraced, while important settings include the Wheeler Centre and (for a sleeplessness/sugar high/accidental crossing south of the river-induced Marimekko-involving breakdown) Emporium. To be honest I found it a tiny bit broad and loose at points, especially as it moved towards resolution of its various threads, but given its many other great qualities those things were easy to ignore.
